Enhancing your Zendesk auto-replies with Screendesk links enables customers to easily submit screen recordings tied to their tickets, streamlining issue resolution for your support team. This guide walks you through the setup process.

Ensure you’ve configured Zendesk automations or triggers for email auto-replies. If you need guidance, follow Zendesk's guide on configuring auto-replies.

Steps to Set Up the Zendesk Auto-Reply with Screendesk Integration

1. Access Zendesk Admin Center Log in to Zendesk and navigate to the Admin Center.

   
2. Go to Objects and Rules In the Admin Center, select Objects and rules from the navigation menu.

1. Retrieve the Screendesk Generic Recording Link

• Go to Screendesk and log in.
