Installing on Zendesk: A 5-Minute Setup Guide

Get RAUM up and running in your Zendesk instance in under 5 minutes with this step-by-step guide.

By RAUM AI Team

Why 5 Minutes?

Most enterprise software requires weeks of implementation. RAUM is different—designed for self-serve from day one.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you'll need:

  1. A Zendesk Admin account
  2. An API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google
  3. A RAUM subscription (or start on 14-day free trial)

Step-by-Step

1. Find RAUM in the Marketplace

  • Go to Zendesk Admin Center
  • Search "RAUM" in the Marketplace
  • Click "Install"

2. Grant Permissions

  • Review the required permissions (read tickets, update tickets, read users)
  • Click "Accept" to install

3. Configure Your API Key

  • Go to RAUM settings in Zendesk
  • Enter your API key
  • Select your preferred model (GPT-4, Claude, or Gemini)

4. Set Up Decision Trees (Optional)

  • Define common ticket types
  • Map resolution paths
  • Configure brand voice guidelines

5. Enable Features

  • Choose: Copilot only (AI drafts, humans send), Auto-Resolve only (AI handles tickets end-to-end), or both
  • Set confidence thresholds
  • Configure notification preferences

You're Ready

That's it. Within 5 minutes, your team can start using AI to:

  • Generate drafts in the ticket composer
  • Translate responses to any language
  • Check grammar for professional output
  • Autoresolve simple tickets without human intervention

Troubleshooting

"API key invalid": Check that you have credits in your API account

"Not seeing the buttons": Ensure you're using the Zendesk Agent interface, not end-user

"Too many resolutions": Adjust your monthly plan or enable the overage option
