ServiceDesk Plus On-Demand - Native Integration
The native integration between ServiceDesk Plus On-Demand and Zoho Voice allows users to make and receive calls using the Zoho Voice web or mobile apps, with automatic contact lookup for known numbers. You can also configure the system to automatically create tickets for incoming calls based on the caller’s number.
To enable features such as click-to-call, dial pad access, and incoming call pop-ups within ServiceDesk Plus On-Demand, the ZDialer browser extension must be installed.
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up the integration and details the features available after integration.
Note
Only super admin and admins have permission to configure this integration.
