Add a Copilot to your Zendesk Workspace
Install Keep, Inkeep's Copilot for Support Agents, to your Zendesk workspace.
How it Works
Keep's Smart Assist mode analyzes the ticket you're currently looking at to generate intelligent suggestions to move the ticket forward.
Suggestions can include:
-
Draft Answers: Editable responses that are likely to resolve the ticket.
-
Quick Links: Relevant sources for the ticket, such as docs, previous support tickets, and Slack threads.
-
Summaries & To-Do's: Summaries of long conversations and actionable remaining to-dos.
-
Other: Quick replies, sentiment analysis, and other helpful insights.
Keep is fully conversational - you can ask for clarifications or even request modifications to suggested answers.
Add Private Sources
The Support Copilot can leverage your private content, like Slack conversations in internal channels and historical support tickets, in addition to your public docs and help center content.
Contact us to set up a separate project with those sources.
Generate an API Key
First, lets get an Inkeep API key for the copilot:
- Go to the Inkeep Dashboard
- Select your project under Projects
- Navigate to the Integrations tab
- Click on Create integration
- Select Support Copilot
- Give it a name like "Support Copilot"
- Click on Create
- Copy the generated API key, which we'll refer to as the Copilot API key
Install the Zendesk App
-
Access Zendesk: Log in to your Zendesk account with administrator credentials.
-
Install the Application: Go to the App Listing or navigate to the Zendesk Marketplace and search for "Keep AI Copilot for Support". Click the Install button to begin the installation process.
-
Authorize Installation: Review and accept the requested permissions.
-
Configure the App: Follow the prompts to set up the app, including inputting your Inkeep Support Copilot API key that you generated in the previous step.
-

Use with a ticket
To use Keep with a support ticket:
- Open a support ticket in Zendesk
- Open the Inkeep app on the right side bar
- Click on Smart Assist
Turn Tickets into FAQs
-
Open your resolved support ticket.
-
In the Keep interface, click Ticket into FAQ.
-
Review the generated FAQ:
- Check the auto-generated FAQ items
- Use the copilot chat to request any needed changes
- Click Save to KB when ready
-
Access your FAQs:
- Visit the Inkeep Dashboard
- Select your Copilot's Project
- Open the Tuning FAQs tab
- Manage your FAQs (edit, create, enable, or disable)
Generated FAQs should already be sanitized of sensitive information and could be used as customer-facing FAQs. However, you can choose to use the FAQ source from only your private project. By default the FAQs are used only by the project that the Support Copilot was created in.
Updating your API Key
To update the API key for your Support Copilot:
- Go to the Inkeep Dashboard
- Select your project under Projects
- Navigate to the Integrations tab
- Find the integration named "Support Copilot" (or the name you gave it)
- Copy the API key associated with this integration
Now, update the API key in your Zendesk Support Copilot App configuration:
-
Go to your Zendesk Admin Center:
https://<your_subdomain>.zendesk.com/admin/apps-integrations/apps/support-apps
-
Find the Inkeep Support Copilot App
-
Click on Change Settings in the app's context menu
-
In the settings form, locate the API Key field
-
Paste the new API key you copied from the Inkeep Dashboard
-
Save the changes
Your Support Copilot will now use the updated API key, which may give it access to different data sources or configurations based on your Inkeep project settings.
