Zendesk administration

Zendesk administration: an admin you can trust, with AI in support

I make Zendesk work the way it should: triggers that do not clash, macros people actually use, useful views and reports you can trust. And when the time is right, I add AI to support without putting your customer service at risk.

from €500/month + VAT

The problem

  • You have dozens of triggers and automations nobody dares touch because nobody knows what they break.
  • The person who set up Zendesk has left and nobody actively administers it.
  • Agents work with messy views and macros, and the reports do not match reality.
  • You want to classify tickets or suggest replies with AI, without surprises for your customers.

Before and after

Before (manual) 1. Unclassified ticket comes in 2. An agent triages it by hand 3. Reassigned between teams 4. Reply written from scratch BEFORE 4 · manual Unclassified ticket comes in An agent triages it by hand Reassigned between teams Reply written from scratch

A ticket's journey with a well-configured Zendesk and an AI layer.

What I do

  1. 01

    Clean-up and structure

    Initial review of triggers, automations, SLAs, forms and fields. I remove what is not needed and document what stays.

  2. 02

    Day-to-day operation

    Adding and removing agents, macros, views, groups, workflow changes and whatever the support team needs. I reply within one working day.

  3. 03

    Reports that are actually useful

    Explore set up with the metrics that matter: volume, first reply time, resolution time, backlog and contact reasons.

  4. 04

    AI in support (Extended plan)

    Automatic ticket classification, suggested replies and Claude agents connected to Zendesk, with human review and quality metrics.

Why an external Zendesk admin

Zendesk degrades quietly. Everyone who passes through the team adds a trigger, a macro or a view, and two years later nobody knows why a ticket changes group at three in the morning. An admin with hours reserved every month keeps the configuration tidy, documented and ready to grow. I work remotely from Barcelona with companies across Spain and Europe, in English or Spanish.

If you want to connect Zendesk to Slack, Sheets or your CRM beyond what the plan hours cover, we do it as an implementation project. Related reading: how to clean up Zendesk triggers before adding AI, AI ticket triage in Zendesk and an e-commerce Zendesk clean-up case.

What you get

  • Documented inventory of triggers, automations and macros
  • Monthly report of changes made and hours used
  • Explore dashboards with the key support metrics
  • A direct line to me by email or Slack for requests
  • On the Extended plan: monitored AI workflows in support

Who it's for

  • Companies already on Zendesk with between 3 and 50 agents.
  • Support teams without a dedicated admin, or with one who cannot keep up.
  • Companies that want AI in support from someone who knows Zendesk inside out.

Who it's not for

  • If you need Zendesk set up from scratch: that is an implementation project, not a monthly service.
  • If you want someone to answer tickets: I administer the tool, I do not work as an agent.
  • If you use another helpdesk and have no plans to move to Zendesk.

What clients say

5 out of 5

Ha sido un gusto trabajar con Gerard. Tiene mucho conocimiento de Zendesk y sobre todo ha entendido muy bien la problemática del proyecto. Ha identificado de manera muy rápida (en un par de sesiones), cómo se utiliza la herramienta en el proyecto y qué oportunidades de mejora y optimización se pueden implementar, así como necesidades que aún no han sido cubiertas y ha planteado soluciones para las mismas.

Repetiríamos la colaboración sin duda.

Necesitábamos montar Zendesk desde cero para nuestro equipo de soporte y Gerard se encargó de todo: la configuración, las automatizaciones y los dashboards para seguir el día a día. Entendió rápido cómo funciona una logística B2B de moda y adaptó la herramienta a nuestra forma de trabajar, no al revés. La formación al equipo de 8 personas fue muy práctica y desde el primer día supieron usarlo. Muy contentos con el resultado; lo recomendamos sin dudarlo.

FAQ

What if I need more hours one month?

I let you know before we reach the limit. You can buy extra hours that month or move to the Extended plan, whichever works out cheaper.

Can I switch plans?

Yes, from one month to the next, in either direction.

Do you need admin access?

Yes, with my own dedicated admin user, never a shared one, so every change I make is logged under my name in the Zendesk audit log.

Do you work with Zendesk's native AI?

Yes. We decide together whether Zendesk's AI features or a custom layer built on Claude makes more sense, based on your ticket volume and your Zendesk plan.

How quickly do you respond?

Within one working day for normal requests. Issues that stop support are handled as soon as possible during working hours.

Do you start with a review of our current Zendesk?

Yes. In the first month I spend part of the hours inventorying and tidying the existing configuration. Without that baseline, any later change is risky.
