The short answer

Zendesk is the customer service software behind millions of support tickets. Connected to Topcalls, an AI voice agent can open a Zendesk ticket from an inbound call, add a public or private comment, tag the ticket by call outcome, and dial the customer back the moment a new ticket lands in a monitored view.

What you can automate with Zendesk

Open a Zendesk ticket from an inbound call

When a customer calls with a fresh support issue, Topcalls uses Create Ticket to open a Zendesk ticket with subject, description, requester, priority, and tags captured during the conversation. The AI voice agent writes the description in the customer's own language across 36+ supported voices.

Comment on the ticket with a call summary

The Add Comment to Ticket action posts a public or private comment on the matching Zendesk ticket the moment a Topcalls voice call ends. The AI voice agent writes a clear recap and marks it private when the note is meant for the agent team only.

Trigger an outbound callback from a ticket view

The New ticket in view trigger fires whenever a fresh Zendesk ticket lands in a monitored view such as VIP or High Priority. Topcalls dials the requester at $0.35 per minute, opens with the ticket summary, and posts the call outcome back on the same ticket.

Create the customer record before creating the ticket

For a first-time caller who has no Zendesk profile yet, Topcalls runs Create User to add them to the account, then Create Ticket to open their first ticket. The AI voice agent captures name, email, and organization on the phone so the profile is complete from day one.

Tag every ticket by call sentiment

The Add Tag to Ticket action attaches one or more tags to a Zendesk ticket, such as `angry`, `refund-requested`, or `retention-save`. Topcalls maps the AI voice agent's sentiment analysis to the right tag so support leaders can slice ticket volumes by real call sentiment.

Frequently asked questions

Can Topcalls create Zendesk tickets from a voice call?

Yes. Create Ticket opens a Zendesk ticket in one API call, with subject, description, requester ID, priority, and tags built from the conversation. Topcalls writes the description in the caller's own language and can attach a link to the recording if your workspace allows it.

Does Topcalls add comments to Zendesk tickets?

Yes. Add Comment to Ticket posts a public or private comment on any ticket. Topcalls uses it to log call summaries and next steps immediately after a call ends, and picks private mode when the note is meant for the agent team only.

Can a new Zendesk ticket trigger a Topcalls call?

Yes. The New Ticket and New ticket in view triggers surface fresh tickets to Topcalls. The AI voice agent dials the requester at $0.35 per minute, opens with a script built from the ticket subject, and posts the outcome back on the ticket.

Does Topcalls create Zendesk users for first-time callers?

Yes. Create User adds a new Zendesk user with name, email, phone, and organization captured on the call. Topcalls then links any fresh ticket to that user, so the customer's account, contact history, and organization are complete from the first inbound conversation onward.
