# Zendesk integration

Zendesk is the world’s leading cloud-based service software solution trusted by over 40,000 organizations. Zendesk is popular with both customer service teams and customers because of its simple interface and integrates seamlessly into all support channels, such as email, web, chat, and social media. With sipgate, you can make calls directly in Zendesk and use your contacts in the sipgate app. This way, you always see who is calling and do not have to switch between different tools. sipgate is your telephone system with the telephony app for desktop and mobile.

Connect sipgate and Zendesk and benefit from automatic contact synchronization. All changes or new contacts that you add in the sipgate app during or after the call are automatically saved in Zendesk.

#### How can I make calls with sipgate’s Zendesk integration?

After you have synchronized your Zendesk contacts with the sipgate app, you have additional calling options available:

* You make calls directly from the sipgate app.
* Install the [sipgate App Click2Dial add-on for Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sipgate-app-click2dial/meocbidedjibjdlhfjgplpogklmbhbko?hl=de). Go to the desired contact in Zendesk and click the blue handset icon next to the phone number. This will start the call with the sipgate app.
