Beyond ratings

What Zendesk does not give you on its own.

Zendesk reports volume and speed. Kaizo adds the quality layer on top: what was actually said, whether it met your standard, and what to coach as a result.

  • Quality and performance management in one place
  • Root-cause analysis across conversations
  • AI coaching cards drawn from Zendesk history

Set-up

Set up Zendesk QA with Kaizo in three steps

There is no connector to build. Most of the work is writing the scorecard, and you only do that once.

  1. Connect Zendesk

    Authenticate Kaizo with your Zendesk account. Kaizo reads conversations from Zendesk, so your agents keep working where they already work and nobody re-keys a ticket.

  2. Pick your scorecard

    Write the criteria in your own words and connect your knowledge base so the AI understands your product. Test the scoring against your past ratings before it goes live.

  3. Switch on AutoPilot

    AutoPilot scores each conversation against your criteria when it resolves, including the ones Zendesk's AI agents handle, and attaches a comment that explains the score to the ticket.

Going further: how to QA Zendesk AI agents, why QA belongs in the Zendesk ticket view, and the Zendesk Marketplace apps support teams add next to it. Two teams that built their support on Zendesk: Foot Locker Europe and SteelSeries.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to change anything in Zendesk?

No. Kaizo reads from Zendesk; your agents keep working exactly where they already work.

How long does setup take?

Days. Authenticate, define your criteria, and AutoPilot begins scoring immediately.

Which Zendesk plans work?

Kaizo works alongside Zendesk Support. Talk to us if your setup is unusual and we will be straight about fit.

Does Kaizo score conversations handled by Zendesk AI agents?

Yes. AutoPilot scores every Zendesk conversation against your own criteria, including the ones Zendesk's AI agents handle, and each score comes with a comment that explains it.

Can we choose which Zendesk tickets get scored?

Yes. You can scope which queues, channels or teams AutoPilot scores. Where a queue needs a person's judgement, Auto QA pre-fills the criteria and drafts the feedback for a reviewer to edit and approve.

Can we check the scoring before it goes live?

Yes. You test the AI against your historical ratings first, so you can see where it agrees with your team and where it does not, and adjust the criteria until it matches.
