## What can your AI employee do in Zendesk?

Viktor connects to your Zendesk account and completes work in it. He doesn't just answer questions about Zendesk, he takes the actions on your behalf and delivers the finished result to your workspace.

Unlike workflow builders such as Zapier or Make, there is nothing to configure - no triggers to map, no workflows to maintain. You describe the outcome in plain English, and Viktor picks the right Zendesk actions, chains them with the other 9,800+ tools he connects to, and asks for approval before anything sensitive runs.

### About Zendesk

Zendesk is customer service software for support tickets, customers, organizations and a Help Center. Viktor connects to it with Zendesk sign-in (OAuth). Viktor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Zendesk.

### How a run works

1. **You ask in your workspace** - Describe what you need in plain English
2. **Viktor picks the actions** - Selects from 30 Zendesk actions, chains them together
3. **Runs in Zendesk** - Helps you triage and resolve customer support tickets - your real data.
4. **Reports back** - Delivers the finished result to your workspace

## Use Zendesk from Slack and Microsoft Teams

Message Viktor in a Slack channel, a Microsoft Teams chat or a direct message. He opens Zendesk, does the work and posts the result in the same thread, so nobody has to switch tabs.

He can also run Zendesk work on a schedule, like a weekly Zendesk summary posted to your team's channel. Anything sensitive waits for your approval before it runs.

## Security and permissions

- One-click OAuth - Viktor never sees your password, and you can revoke access at any time.
- Review-first approvals: sensitive Zendesk actions wait for your sign-off before they run.
- Isolated compute per team, encrypted in transit and at rest - and your data is never used to train models.
- SOC 2 Type 1 compliant, with Type 2 and ISO 27001 in progress.
- Viktor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Zendesk.

## What can you ask Viktor to do in Zendesk?

- "Summarize today's open tickets in Zendesk and flag the urgent ones."
- "Draft replies to the open tickets in Zendesk and queue them for my approval."
- "Pull this week's ticket volume and response time from Zendesk every Monday."
- "Watch Zendesk for tickets that mention churn and flag them for me."

## How does Viktor work with Zendesk?

1. Open Viktor in a supported workspace.
2. Connect Zendesk with one-click OAuth - Viktor handles authentication.
