When support teams can see their data, they thrive

In most support teams it’s only managers who regularly look at the data. It’s out of sight, hard to use, and arrives late. But when teams can see what’s happening in real time, they self-correct and leaders don’t have to micromanage.

See the difference it makes

The information was critical, but it was stuck in Zendesk. We needed real-time insights that anyone could see, from agents to executives.

The dashboard is a great incentive for our teams, we use it throughout the day to motivate agents with competitions around top call answerer or top ticket resolver.

The dashboard creates transparency for the team and autonomy for the agents. It helps them to figure things out by themselves, removes unnecessary communication and avoids micromanagement.

Share your metrics with the whole team

Geckoboard is built to get your data in front of people. Put dashboards on TVs, send snapshots to Slack and Microsoft Teams, embed them in your wiki, or create shareable dashboards with a link. Leaders and other teams can access the numbers without needing a Zendesk account.

Get alerted when something needs attention

Set alerts on your key Zendesk metrics and notify the right people when something changes or crosses a threshold.

From there, they can drill into the data and click straight through to the relevant tickets in Zendesk.

Use your Zendesk metrics with AI

Geckoboard unlocks your Zendesk data for Claude, ChatGPT and other AI tools. Instead of asking AI to interpret raw tickets and work out your metrics itself, it gets direct access to trusted, pre-calculated metrics from the same engine that powers your dashboards.

Example prompts asking Claude to report on an agent’s performance, correlate CRM deal volume with tickets, and explain a drop in CSAT

FAQ

Geckoboard integrates with Zendesk Support, Zendesk Chat, Zendesk Talk, Zendesk QA and Zendesk Sell through separate integrations.

If you’re using omnichannel routing, you can use Geckoboard’s standalone Zendesk Agent Status integration to monitor agent availability and workload across channels in real-time.

A range of Zendesk Messaging metrics can be accessed through both our Support and Agent Status integrations.

Popular metrics from our Zendesk integrations include:
  • Support: first reply time, full resolution time, ticket volume, unsolved tickets, unassigned tickets, open tickets, top ticket solvers, tickets by channel, group, agent or tag, CSAT, CSAT comment feed, percent of tickets with a rating, SLA achievement rate, SLA breached tickets, tickets nearing SLA breach, one-touch ticket rate, requester wait time, on-hold time, number of agent replies, number of agent updates, average replies per ticket, average replies per solved ticket, and more.
  • Chat: chat volume, missed chats, chats by tag, chats in queue, acceptance rate, average wait time, chats currently being served, chat duration, response time, agents currently online, away or invisible.
  • Talk: agent availability, agents on wrap up, call volume, average time to answer, longest wait time, wrap up time, abandonment rate, answer rate, average call duration, average wrap up time, missed calls, voicemails, callbacks waiting, and more.
  • QA: average quality score for the whole team, individual quality scores, highest scores, review feed.
  • Messaging (via Support integration): active in queue, active assigned, inactive in queue, average time in queue, longest time in queue, average handle time, longest handle time, and more.
  • Sell: revenue, pipeline, number of deals, sales leaderboards, and more.

Most metrics can also be filtered by the following dimensions to give even more precision — assignee, brand, channel, group, priority, status, tag or custom field.

The best way to check if a specific metric is supported by our integration though is to try it for yourself. Alternatively, ask our friendly support team.

Geckoboard is ideal for creating an up-to-date view of metrics you, your team or stakeholders should be regularly monitoring, which can include data from several sources.

Examples might include dashboards for monitoring high level metrics from across your whole support operation, or more specific dashboards focused around metrics related to a specific number or even specific agents. For inspiration, check out our Zendesk dashboard examples.

Zendesk Support widgets update every 10 minutes, Zendesk Chat every 1 minute, Zendesk Talk every 30 seconds and Zendesk Sell every 25 minutes for Call metrics, and 30 minutes for Deal metrics. Zendesk Agent Status widgets update every 30 seconds. Messaging metrics update instantly. See this help article for refresh rates of all our other data sources.

Absolutely, and you can add metrics from different Zendesk accounts to the same dashboard too.
