Solidroad + Zendesk Integration Guide

Automatically evaluate your Zendesk tickets using Solidroad's scorecard system for scalable, consistent quality assurance.

Updated this week

What the Zendesk Integration Does

The Zendesk integration allows you to pull support tickets directly from Zendesk into Solidroad, where they can be automatically scored using your customized Solidroad scorecards.

You can use scorecards to evaluate:

  • Communication skills

  • Technical resolution accuracy

  • Process compliance

  • Any other quality criteria your support team values

With this integration, you can run bulk evaluations, scoring large volumes of support conversations to uncover trends, identify coaching opportunities, and improve customer experience.


What You’ll Need

To set up the Zendesk integration, you must have:

  • A Zendesk admin account (required for authorization)

  • Access to Solidroad with permission to manage integrations


How to Set Up the Zendesk Integration

  1. Log in to Solidroad.

  2. Navigate to the Integrations tab, located in the bottom-left corner of the main navigation.

  3. Locate the Zendesk integration and toggle it on.

  4. A prompt will appear requesting access to your Zendesk data, specifically your ticket and conversation data.

  5. You will be redirected to Zendesk, where you must authorize the integration.

  6. After authorization, you will return to Solidroad. The toggle will appear active, confirming that setup is complete.


How to Run QA on Zendesk Tickets

  1. Go to the Quality tab in Solidroad.

  2. Click "New Bulk Evaluation."

  3. Enter a name for your evaluation.

  4. The Zendesk integration will be preselected, or you can choose it manually.

  5. Select an existing scorecard or create a new one.

  6. Define filter conditions to determine which Zendesk tickets should be scored.

  7. Optionally, apply custom attribute filters (such as tags, channels, or issue types).

Note: Only the first round of filters will show a preview of how many conversations match your criteria. Custom attribute filters do not show a live count due to current platform limitations.

  1. On the final step, select which agent should be scored in each case if multiple agents are involved.

  2. Click "Analyze" to begin the evaluation. It may take several minutes depending on ticket volume.


Reviewing Evaluation Results

Once the evaluation is complete, you will see:

  • A left panel listing all evaluated tickets

  • A middle panel showing each ticket's full thread, internal notes, and actions

  • A right panel displaying:

    • Auto QA results

    • Scorecard breakdown

    • First response time

    • Handling time

    • Suggested improvements with real ticket examples


Troubleshooting Tips

  • Ensure you have the correct Solidroad permissions if you do not see the Zendesk toggle.

  • Confirm your Zendesk admin credentials if the authorization fails.

  • Double-check your evaluation filters if no tickets appear.
