Kayako builds customer service and help desk software which businesses use to talk to and support their customers.

What can Zenduty do for Kayako users?

With Zenduty, you can receive alerts that are generated from Kayako via phone call, SMS and email, set up automatic escalation of alerts and set up on-call duty scheduling for your ops teams.
Whenever Kayako triggers an alert based on a predefined condition, Zenduty will create an incident. When that condition goes back to normal levels, Zenduty will auto-resolve the incident.
You can also use Alert Rules to custom route specific Kayako alerts to specific users, teams or escalation policies, write suppression rules, auto add notes, responders and incident tasks.
