What can an AI agent do with Zoho Desk?

A Zoho Desk AI agent can read and triage support tickets, filter by status or priority, look up customer contacts, create new tickets, reply to customers, close resolved tickets, and reassign tickets to the right agent or team. It can also generate support metrics reports and escalate urgent issues to other tools like Slack. Write actions like replying or closing tickets always require your approval.

Can my agent reply to customers automatically?

Replying to tickets is a write action that requires your approval. Your agent drafts the reply and queues it for your review before anything is sent to the customer.

Which Zoho Desk plans does this work with?

The integration uses the Zoho Desk REST API and works with all Zoho Desk plans that include API access (Standard and above).

How is a Zoho Desk AI agent different from Zoho Desk automations?

Zoho Desk automations handle simple rule-based triggers like auto-assignment and canned responses. A Zoho Desk AI agent reasons across tickets: it reads conversation history, identifies patterns, drafts context-aware replies, and routes information to other tools like Slack or HubSpot based on what it finds.
