Overview

The Zendesk Sell Action block connects your Ada bot to Zendesk Sell. With the Zendesk Sell Action Block, you can perform the following actions, all from within your bot:

• Create or Update Individual Contact
• Create or Update Organizational Contact
• Create or Update Lead
• Search Contact by Email
• Search Lead by Email

Note:

• A Zendesk Sell Enterprise license is required to create and update contacts and leads.
• A Zendesk Sell Elite license is required to search contact and leads by email.

Configure the Zendesk Sell Action Block

To configure in Ada:

• Navigate to Settings > Integrations and scroll down to Action Integrations. 
• Next to Zendesk Sell, click Configure. You will see a dialogue window pop up, where you will be prompted to enter an API key. 
  
• You can find the Zendesk Sell API Key in your Zendesk Instance, by navigating to: Settings > OAuth > Access Tokens. Create a new token and name it appropriately (ie. Ada Bot Integration Token). If you have an existing token, click Details to access it.
• Enter your Zendesk Sell Access token in the API key field, and click Save. 
  
  

Be sure to refresh your dashboard once you click Save. This will ensure the Zendesk Sell block is ready to be used.
