Internal collaboration for
Zendesk Support teams

Marketplace app name: MergeYard Chat

MergeYard gives agents a dedicated internal collaboration layer around tickets, teams, and escalations inside the Zendesk workspace.

Built to complement Zendesk workflows

MergeYard does not replace Zendesk Support. It adds ticket-linked discussions, channels, direct messages, threads, calls, and escalation coordination around the work agents already do in Zendesk.

Zendesk Support app

Keep internal collaboration close to live ticket work.

MergeYard appears in the Zendesk top bar and ticket sidebar so teams can coordinate around active tickets without losing support context.

How teams start

Start with the MergeYard preview while Marketplace review is in progress.

Before the public Marketplace listing is live, Zendesk teams can join the MergeYard preview. After approval, teams will be able to install MergeYard directly from the Zendesk Marketplace.

Product overview

What MergeYard adds to Zendesk Support

MergeYard gives support teams an internal collaboration layer built around ticket work, shared operations, and escalations inside Zendesk.

Ticket-linked discussions

Start internal discussions that stay connected to the ticket your agent is actively handling.

Team channels

Give support teams shared channels for queues, recurring issues, launches, and cross-functional coordination.

Direct messages

Reach the right teammate quickly when a private internal conversation is the fastest path to an answer.

Threads

Keep follow-up questions, detailed replies, and decisions organized around the issue being discussed.

Calls

Start or join calls inside MergeYard when a support conversation needs to move faster than text.

Escalation spaces

Pull in specialists, support leads, or adjacent teams while preserving the context around the escalation.

Decision history

Keep internal decision history tied to support work so agents can see what happened and why.

Why teams use MergeYard

Reviewer-facing data summary

Data accessed and why

The current app is designed to access only the Zendesk context needed to connect the right workspace, agent, and ticket to the corresponding MergeYard collaboration flow.

Zendesk subdomain and workspace context

Used to connect the correct Zendesk workspace to the correct MergeYard workspace and sign-in path.

Authenticated Zendesk user identity

Used to identify the signed-in agent and apply workspace access and approval rules.

Ticket ID

Used to create, join, and reopen the correct ticket-linked discussion inside MergeYard.

Limited ticket context

The current ticket-sidebar flow reads the ticket subject so agents can recognize the ticket-linked discussion they are entering.

App configuration and workspace settings

Used to manage installation, workspace mapping, seats, approvals, and collaboration settings.

MergeYard collaboration content

Channels, messages, threads, direct messages, call metadata, and ticket-linked discussions are stored so teams can collaborate inside the product.

The current ticket-sidebar flow reads the Zendesk ticket ID and ticket subject to create and label the ticket-linked discussion. It does not rely on the full ticket body or requester identity for that linked-discussion step.

Installation

Reviewer and admin install path

MergeYard installs into Zendesk Support and appears in the top bar, ticket sidebar, and supporting background app location defined by the Zendesk app package.
