Zendesk in Polar: support load, read against revenue.

Connect Zendesk over its API and ticket volume flows into Polar, by agent, channel and tag, next to your Shopify orders, returns and refunds. Support stops being a number in a helpdesk and becomes a metric you can read against revenue, as tickets per thousand orders.

Side by side

Zendesk measures support. Polar measures support against the business.

Your helpdesk reports tickets in isolation, and it cannot see orders, returns or revenue. So you never really know whether support load is healthy for the size of the business. Polar reads Zendesk against the numbers that give it meaning.
