We hold no reseller commission on Zendesk. That is what makes the trade-off line above worth reading. It costs us nothing to tell you when this is the wrong choice.
Building with Zendesk
Zendesk is strongest at mature ticketing with a well-documented API surface for automation. We reach for it when that is the property a workload actually depends on, and we say so when it is not.
Zendesk's ticketing core is mature in the ways that matter for automation: a well-documented API, reliable webhooks, and a data model that does not fight you when you want to read conversation history in bulk.
Per-agent pricing is the constraint. For a large support organisation the licence cost becomes a strategic line item, and that alone drives some migrations regardless of product quality.
We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.
What we build on Zendesk
Questions
What is Zendesk best at?
Mature ticketing with a well-documented API surface for automation.
When would you not use Zendesk?
Per-agent pricing that scales painfully for large support teams. We would look at n8n or Zapier in that situation.
Do you have a commercial relationship with Zendesk?
No. We hold no reseller commission on any technology we recommend, which is what lets the trade-off above be stated plainly.
Can you work with our existing Zendesk setup?
Yes. We would rather extend and stabilise something that already works than introduce a parallel system your team has to learn.
Working with Zendesk?
Tell us the workload and we will tell you whether this is the right tool for it.
