WickrIO Zendesk Bot

• Wickr's own Zendesk Bot

Use this bot to handle customer support and automatically create Zendesk tickets for users, all without leaving Wickr's secure messaging platform. Just plug in your Zendesk account info and the bot will pull all the fields and questions required to submit a Ticket from the pre-configured Zendesk account and will prompt the user to enter them. Once the user confirms the information he entered the bots will submit the ticket to Zendesk.
