Add AfterShip Tracking to your Zendesk Support account for ease of accessing tracking details, right inside the Zendesk Support ticket window. The app grabs the tracking numbers associated with the ticket requester’s email address and displays the latest delivery statuses and other fields from your AfterShip Tracking account.



This app targets to boost your customer support team’s productivity. Support agents need not leave Zendesk Support ticket window to get delivery updates, resulting in fewer clicks for the agent and quick turnaround time for your esteemed customers.
