CINCOPA FOR ZENDESK
Turn your video knowledge into answers inside Zendesk
Bring approved troubleshooting videos, product demonstrations, training recordings and documents into the support workflow. Agents can ask natural-language questions across connected Cincopa knowledge, review a grounded answer and use it to respond without leaving the Zendesk ticket.
- Zendesk manages the ticket. Cincopa activates the knowledge needed to answer it.
Media Interface
ANSWERABLE SUPPORT KNOWLEDGE
Move from a customer question to approved knowledge faster
Support answers are often already explained in a product walkthrough, training recording, troubleshooting video or internal document. The difficulty is finding the right information while an agent is actively working on a ticket.
Cincopa brings video-first knowledge retrieval into Zendesk. Agents can ask a question about the customer’s issue, retrieve an answer grounded in the connected Cincopa library and review the relevant source before replying.
RETRIEVE
Reach the relevant explanation
Use the returned source to locate the walkthrough, demonstration or document that addresses the customer’s problem.
REVIEW
Keep the agent in control
Review, edit and personalize the retrieved information before adding it to the Zendesk response.
ZENDESK + CINCOPA
The ticket stays in Zendesk. The knowledge comes from Cincopa.
The integration connects the support workflow in Zendesk with the video and document knowledge managed in Cincopa. It shortens the time agents spend searching for known answers while preserving human review.
STEP 1
A customer submits a question
The issue enters Zendesk and remains part of the normal ticket workflow.
STEP 2
The agent opens Cincopa
The Cincopa app appears in the Apps panel on the right side of the Zendesk ticket.
STEP 3
The agent asks about the issue
The agent enters a focused natural-language question based on the customer’s request.
STEP 4
Cincopa retrieves relevant knowledge
Cincopa searches the approved knowledge connected to the integration and returns an answer with relevant source context.
STEP 5
The agent reviews and responds
The agent verifies the information, adapts it to the customer’s situation and submits the final response through Zendesk.
The agent remains in control
Cincopa supports the agent’s decision—it does not send an unreviewed response automatically.
INSTALLATION
Connect Cincopa to your Zendesk workspace
A Zendesk administrator installs the app and connects it to the organization’s Cincopa account. Keep all API tokens and connection values private.
STEP 1
Find Cincopa in the Zendesk Marketplace
Sign in to Zendesk as an administrator, open the Zendesk Marketplace and search for Cincopa.
STEP 2
Select your Zendesk account
Choose the Zendesk workspace where the Cincopa app should be available and continue to the installation settings.
STEP 3
Name the app
Enter the title agents should see in the Zendesk Apps panel. “Cincopa Knowledge Hub” is a suggested title, not a mandatory value.
STEP 4
Add the Cincopa connection details
Enter the Cincopa API token and any other connection values required by the current installation form. Keep tokens private and never place a real token in public documentation, screenshots or page content.
STEP 5
Set access restrictions if needed
If available in the current Zendesk installation flow, administrators can limit access to selected Zendesk roles or groups.
STEP 6
Install and verify
Complete the installation, open a test ticket and confirm that Cincopa appears in the ticket’s Apps panel.
AGENT WORKFLOW
Use approved video knowledge to prepare a ticket response
Once the integration is installed, agents can retrieve knowledge without interrupting the Zendesk workflow.
STEP 1
Review the ticket
Read the subject, customer message, previous replies and available attachments. Identify the main problem the customer is trying to solve.
STEP 2
Open the Cincopa app
Open the Apps panel on the right side of the Zendesk ticket and select Cincopa.
STEP 3
Ask a focused question
Enter the customer’s issue as a clear natural-language question.
-
How can a user update the payment card associated with their subscription?
-
How can a user add captions to an uploaded video?
-
How can an administrator restrict access to a private gallery?
-
How can a user replace a video without changing its embed code?
STEP 4
Retrieve the relevant answer
Submit the question and allow Cincopa to search the connected support knowledge. The result may include an explanation, step-by-step instructions, relevant source context or a reference to a connected video or document.
STEP 5
Verify the information
Confirm that the answer addresses the question, matches the current product, uses approved knowledge, contains no internal information and respects customer access permissions.
STEP 6
Prepare and submit the response
Use the relevant information in the Zendesk editor, personalize it for the customer and select the appropriate ticket status.
Use recurring support questions to strengthen the knowledge library
Installing Cincopa in Zendesk is not only about finding existing answers. The questions agents repeatedly ask can reveal where the support library is incomplete, unclear or difficult to use.
When a reliable answer is missing, the team can improve the relevant document, update a walkthrough or record a new explanation.
Activate existing videos and documents → answer real support questions → identify gaps → improve the next piece of content
Structure becomes the improvement path, not the prerequisite.
SUPPORT KNOWLEDGE IN PRACTICE
Give agents faster access to knowledge that is difficult to capture in a short article
Use approved video-first knowledge across recurring support situations.
Product troubleshooting
Retrieve the walkthrough that demonstrates how to diagnose or resolve a recurring product issue.
Account and billing guidance
Find approved procedural knowledge for common subscription, account or payment questions.
Configuration support
Use recorded demonstrations and supporting documents to guide customers through multi-step settings.
Agent enablement
Help new and experienced agents reuse knowledge captured by product specialists and support experts.
CONTROLLED KNOWLEDGE ACCESS
Connect the knowledge agents are approved to use
Faster retrieval should not come at the expense of governance. Configure the integration around approved Cincopa content and limit Zendesk access by role or group where the installation supports it. Agents should verify permissions before sharing a video, document or link with a customer.
Keep tokens private
Never expose API tokens in documentation, screenshots or public page content.
Use approved sources
Connect only knowledge sources that agents are authorized to use.
Review before sending
Verify retrieved information before adding it to a customer response.
Protect internal resources
Do not expose private or internal videos, documents or links.
Confirm customer access
Check that customers can access any resource shared in a ticket.
Maintain the library
Update outdated support knowledge when agents identify it.
