Zendesk Ticket Creation

Turn an in-app support request into a Zendesk ticket with the context agents need.

What it adds

An in-app support form that files a Zendesk ticket carrying the requester, the surrounding product context, and any attachments.

What your agent is told to do

5
  1. 1

    Find the points where a user currently has to leave the app to ask for help, and put the request form there, prefilled with what an agent would otherwise have to ask for: account, plan, workspace, current screen, app version, and any recent error reference.

  2. 2

    Set the requester from the authenticated session alone. Never let a submitted email address decide whose ticket this is, or one user can attach themselves to another person's support history.

  3. 3

    Map the app's request types onto priority, type, tags, brand, and custom fields through operator-editable configuration. Embedding field identifiers in code guarantees a silent break the first time someone reconfigures the helpdesk.

  4. 4

    Generate a request identifier before submission and carry it on every attempt, so a retry after a timeout is matched against the ticket that may already exist rather than opening a second one.

  5. 5

    If Help Scout or Freshdesk briefs are also applied to this app, build one provider-agnostic submission path owning the form, context capture, attachments, and deduplication, and let each provider brief supply only its mapping and delivery. Do not build three parallel support forms.

Edge cases it handles

8
  • Matching an existing requester by email must be exact, and a match must never surface another user's ticket history back into the app.
  • Attachments must be transferred server-side from storage the app controls. A guessable temporary URL handed to the provider is a public URL to a customer's private file.
  • Size limits and rejected file types must be checked before submission, so the user is told immediately instead of after a ticket half-exists.
  • A submission that times out mid-flight may still have succeeded. Deduplicate on the request identifier rather than assuming failure and retrying blind.
  • The created ticket reference must be stored against the app record, so status can be shown later and a follow-up attaches to the same thread instead of starting a new one.
  • When the provider is down the request must still be accepted, queued, and delivered later, with the user told it was received. Failing a help request is worst at the exact moment the user is already stuck.
  • Provider error detail belongs in the app's logs. Show the user a plain outcome and a reference they can quote, not a raw message from someone else's API.
  • Automatically captured context must exclude session tokens, API keys, and full request payloads, which would otherwise sit in a helpdesk searchable by every agent.

Definition of done

9
  • Support requests can be raised without leaving the app and arrive with account and screen context attached.
  • The requester is derived from the session and never from user-supplied input.
  • Priority, type, tags, brand, and custom fields are mapped through operator-editable configuration.
  • A submission retried after a timeout produces exactly one ticket.
  • Attachments transfer server-side and are never exposed at a publicly reachable URL.
  • The ticket reference is stored against the app record for later status and replies.
  • Provider downtime results in a queued request and a clear confirmation, not a failed submission.
  • The feature matches the existing design system.
  • No existing functionality is broken.

    It inspects, then implements

    Your agent reads your existing app first, then adds the feature to fit it.

Works with your stack

These instructions are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and reuse what you already have — rather than assuming a particular stack.
