We are thrilled to be working with Zendesk to help deliver superior customer service. This integration not only makes providing customer support easier, but can also turn support Agents to become revenue heros by letting existing customers know about additional services through brochures, white papers and case studies. 


All of this provided at no additional cost! All you need is a valid Zendesk account and either paid or free edocr.com account. 

Do let us know at http://support.edocr.com/entries/21017012-zendesk-integration how we can improve this integration further. Section 6.2 of http://www.edocr.com/doc/1465/edocr-zendesk-integration-user-manual shows how to make the widget public - a complete new way to use Zendesk, your support desk becoming an information library without cluttering or degrading the experience.

Sure Manoj and you can see how we are currently testing it out here:

We feel being able to search our forum on the right side widget for a document we have on Edocr.com, while on a ticket, in a support post or on the phone with a prospect or client, who is looking at a support page is a critical time saver not to mention a great client facing app. 

Well done mate:)

Manoj,

 

Our team is beta testing it now and love it!

Much needed and saves tons of time hunting for docs for our support customers so far.
