Webex for Zendesk
Start, schedule, and join Webex Personal Room meetings directly from a Zendesk ticket. You can create a space and associate it with a specific ticket, to keep relevant conversation history and content between collaborators in one spot. Associate as many spaces you need and unlink those you don't to keep conversations organized. Want to associate an existing space? You can do that too.
Webex App needs to be installed by a Zendesk administrator, so they can link your Webex site.
If your site administrator enabled integrations for Zendesk, you can start, schedule, and join Webex Personal Room meetings.
If you want to meet with the people working on your issue right away, you can start a meeting.

Depending on your Zendesk settings, you also may have received an invitation email with the link.

Space history can even be accessed after it's archived and the issue is closed, in case you ever need it.
