Zendesk

helpdesk

Tickets created automatically from calls.

Calls that need follow-up turn into Zendesk tickets — full transcript attached, sentiment-based priority.

What this does

  • Creates Zendesk tickets for every support call the agent can't fully resolve.

  • Includes the full transcript, sentiment, and the caller's contact details.

  • Routes to the right group based on category (billing, technical, returns).

  • Updates existing tickets if the caller is following up.

  • Lets your support team treat AI calls exactly like email tickets.

Why this matters

Real reasons Zendesk pays for itself, written for the businesses that actually use it.

Customer support ops

Phone tickets are usually missing context. Foan attaches the full transcript and the caller's order history, so the agent who picks it up is already up to speed.

E-commerce returns teams

Returns calls are repetitive. Agent captures the evidence, opens the ticket, your team only touches the edge cases.

How it works

Setup takes a few minutes. The integration runs on every relevant call afterwards.

Common questions

Will it duplicate tickets if the customer also emailed?

▼

No. We look up by email/phone and update the existing ticket if there's an open one.

Worth doing the maths first

How much are missed calls actually costing you?
