Interaction attributes in Genesys Cloud for Zendesk

Note: This article applies to Genesys Cloud for Zendesk.

By default, Genesys Cloud for Zendesk saves certain interaction attributes (known collectively as interaction logs) to comments on tickets. You can customize the interaction attributes that appear on these comments. For more information, see Configure interaction logging and Interaction logs.

You can also configure the integration to save interaction attributes to system or custom fields on tickets. For more information, see Configure interaction logging and Configure new tickets. 

Comments on tickets appear in the Conversations feed for individual tickets. Their content is not searchable. If you want to be able to search the content of comments, map the interaction attribute to a field.

Fields on tickets appear in the left navigation pane in Zendesk. Their content is searchable. 

Interaction attributes

You can map the following interaction attributes to fields or add them to comments.

Important: When you map interaction attributes to fields, interaction logs no longer appear by default in the comments on tickets. You must map interaction log information to a field or add them to comments.
