Hipmob - Zendesk Integration
Overview
Hipmob provides hosted live chat for mobile applications. You sign up with us, we give you a code, you download our library, you integrate it into your app, and you can then talk to your users, figure out what they want and what problems they are having, and make them happy. No servers, no extra steps or code to write, wherever the users are, you get to focus on what you do well. This document covers integrating Hipmob with your Zendesk account.
Integration Screen
Once there, click the Configure button to open the Zendesk integration screen. If you've not configured it yet, the button will be gray.

The Zendesk button will turn green if the connection was successfully set up and you enabled automatic Zendesk submission. If the connection was successfully set up but you didn't enable automatic submission then it will turn blue.

Creating Zendesk Tickets
Once you're in a chat you can type the command #zendesk at any time to create a Zendesk entry. This will create a ticket in Zendesk with the collected information from the chat, including the transcript. A link will be automatically returned that will let you open the newly created Zendesk ticket and add any additional information.

And you're done. If you enabled automatic submission then at the end of every conversation a Zendesk ticket will be automatically created (if you did not manually create one with the #zendesk command).
