General Settings

1. Login to your Zendesk account.
2. Click on the “Settings” icon on the side menu, then click API and select the Settings tab. Enable the option “Enable API authentication using an agent's email address and password”.

Call Journaling

1. If you want to report external calls to Zendesk, you need to create a custom field on the User entity, to hold the agent extension number. This way 3CX can map the extension number of the agent that received the call to the Zendesk user. Information on how to add custom fields to Users can also be found here.
2. Click the Admin icon on the sidebar, then select User Fields.

3. Drag a Numeric field from the right to the Active fields area, and place it where you want it to appear. Alternatively, click the Plus sign (+) beside the Numeric type.

4. Enter the Field title shown to agents, and the Field key (identifier for the API), on the properties panel on the right. Take note of the Field key, as you will need it later when you configure 3CX. Finally click on Create field.

5. Click the Admin icon on the sidebar, then select People.

6. Open the Users for whom you need to report calls, and populate the newly created field on the left bar with the extension number.

• Subject: The subject of the call.
• Answered Inbound Call: Description for answered inbound calls.
• Missed Call: Description for missed calls.
• Answered Outbound Call: Description for answered outbound calls.

• CallType - The type of call, it can be “Inbound”, “Outbound”, “Missed”, or “Unanswered”.
