Advanced Search is an app that provides a simple visual interface for constructing complex search queries against tickets, users, and organizations (orgs). It also enables you to export the search results in a CSV format.

App information:

Architecture Diagrams

Introduced via support-ops-project#801

This app uses the Organization field AM Project ID to check for an existing Account Management project. If it finds it, it will then link to that project’s Architecture Diagram.

NOTE: The AM Project ID field is manually populated. To get that added in, you would want to submit a Support Ops Project issue.

GitLab Reminders App

Introduced via support-team-meta#3036

The Reminders App appears in the navbar and allows the agent a more specialized view of tickets they are involved in. It currently shows:

  • Tickets assigned to you with a pending/overdue task that are not in a Closed state
  • Recent tickets you have viewed
  • Tickets assigned to you that are not in a Closed state
  • Tickets you are CC’d on that are not in a Closed state

It also allows you to quickly manage your tasks by seeing the notes you have left for said task, when it is due, and a button to quickly mark the task as done (remove the notes and due date).

A plugin controlled app that can do several things Zendesk related

The current plugins are:

    Allows an agent to create a new ticket using the same user as the ticket they are currently on.

  • Due date picker

    This allows you to customize what the Due Date for a Task ticket is set for. By default, Zendesk only allows setting the date. This enables you to set the date, time, and timezone.

    You can also set the Due Date Note and disable (or enable) task notifications using this app.

  • Escalated tickets

    This searches for tickets under the organization that have been escalated within the last 6 months.

  • Related tickets

    This looks for tickets related to the current one based off the category (or subcategory) the ticket is currently using. It then displays up to 5 of them (sorted by the update_at value of the ticket, descending).
