The Zendesk tool lets your agent interact with your Zendesk account during a conversation. Use it to create and update support tickets, look up users, add comments to ongoing cases, or search for existing tickets based on custom criteria.

## Using the Zendesk tool

Add the Zendesk tool to your agent from **Tools** → **Add tool** → **Zendesk**. You can also add tools directly from inside a [Playbook](/docs/documentation/build/steps/playbook) or [Integration step](/docs/documentation/build/steps/integration). Once added, you can call the Zendesk tool from inside a [Playbook](/docs/documentation/build/playbooks) or [Workflow](/docs/documentation/build/workflows).

For actions that support custom fields, Voiceflow automatically detects and displays the available fields from your Zendesk account.

## Syncing Zendesk Help Center with your Knowledge Base

You can also connect your Zendesk Help Center to Voiceflow's [Knowledge base](/docs/documentation/build/importing-data-sources). This lets your agent answer questions using your existing help articles, product guides, FAQs, and support policies.

To connect your Zendesk Help Center, go to **Knowledge base** → **Add data source** → **Zendesk** inside your project.
