Finesse ZenDesk Integration

Hi All,

Hope you are doing good.  I am trying to integrate Finesse with Zendesk and here are my requirements.

> Create a ZenDesk Ticket and assign it to the agent

> Grab the ticket number and do a screen pop to the agent

I would like to understand what would be the best way to achieve this.  I can do a REST call from CVP but if  the call gets abandoned while customers are in the queue there would be plenty of tickets without any assignments . Also, CVP will not have agent id so i cannot use this method.  Hence, i am trying to achieve this using Finesse answer event.

As per my understanding, i can create a ticket with Zendesk using REST call by screen pop and sending the agent id for assignment . However,  once the ticket is created and Zendesk sends the ticket number back - How would Finesse act on it ?  I would need to do a screen pop for the agent and open up this ticket in their browser.

This makes me think that i might need a custom Gadget which would basically take inputs from the Finesse and create a ticket and act on the data received.  Is that the right thing to do ?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Regards
