# Integrate WhatsApp with Zendesk for Enhanced Customer Support

Integrate WhatsApp with Zendesk for enhanced customer support with unified ticketing, automated workflows, and seamless agent experience.

## Introduction

The integration between **Zendesk** and **WhatsApp** via Spoki transforms your customer support operations. Manage WhatsApp conversations as tickets, automate responses, and provide your support team with a unified view of all customer interactions.

Zendesk's enterprise-grade support platform combined with Spoki's WhatsApp automation enables support teams to deliver exceptional service at scale while maintaining personal connections with customers.
