Zendesk Integration with Cisco Contact Center CTI

Transform Customer Engagement with MT SmartConnect

MT SmartConnect is a powerful tool that connects Cisco Contact Center with Zendesk, offering a smarter and more efficient way to handle customer support. By combining voice communication with the Zendesk ticketing system, this solution automates routine tasks, streamlines ticket management, and ensures agents can provide personalized customer service when it matters most.

Key Features of MT SmartConnect

1. Contact Match

Automatically identifies incoming calls and matches them with existing contacts in Zendesk. This feature allows agents to instantly see the customer’s information when they answer the phone.

  • How it works: When a customer calls, MT SmartConnect checks Zendesk for their details. If the customer’s information is already in the system, it pops up on the agent’s screen, saving time and ensuring that the agent is ready to help.

2. New Contact Creation

For new or unidentified callers, MT SmartConnect can automatically create a new contact in Zendesk. This ensures that every interaction, even with first-time callers, is logged and tracked.

  • Why it’s important: No need to worry about missing important interactions with new customers. This feature helps grow your contact database and ensures that every conversation is recorded in Zendesk for future reference.

3. Create Ticket

With MT SmartConnect, agents can easily create new support tickets during or after calls. This allows them to log customer issues in real-time and make sure that all concerns are promptly addressed.

  • Benefit: By allowing agents to create tickets directly from call interactions, MT SmartConnect ensures that no customer issue is overlooked or forgotten. This improves the efficiency of your support team and enhances service quality.

4. View All Tickets

During a call, agents can access a complete list of all the tickets associated with the customer. This helps them quickly understand the customer’s history and current issues.

  • How it works: If a customer calls in with a question, the agent can easily view all the tickets that are open, in progress, or resolved for that customer. This helps the agent provide a faster, more personalized response.

5. Note Activity During Calls

While on a call, agents can take notes directly in Zendesk. This ensures that important information shared during the call is captured and saved for future use.

  • Why it matters: Agents can log important details during the conversation, ensuring that everything is recorded for follow-up or for the next agent who might handle the case. It improves the accuracy of the support process and helps teams stay organized.

6. Click-to-Call

Agents can initiate calls directly from Zendesk with just one click. This makes it easy to reach customers quickly without needing to manually dial numbers.

  • Benefit: This feature speeds up the calling process, making it easier for agents to stay focused on helping customers rather than wasting time dialing numbers. It also reduces errors and improves agent productivity.

7. Search to Call

Agents can search for contacts or tickets within Zendesk and initiate a call instantly. This helps them reach out to customers or follow up on specific issues quickly.

  • Why it matters: This feature reduces the time agents spend navigating Zendesk, allowing them to find the right contact or ticket faster and provide timely support to customers.
