“We were charged twice for our March seat-add ($840 overage). Need this resolved before Friday's board meeting.”

Hi Theo — apologies for the double-charge. Refund of $840 has been queued (3–5 business days), and I've flagged the seat-add webhook bug for engineering. I'll personally confirm the refund as soon as Stripe clears it.
How does Zoho CRM work for Ticket Routing automation?
Zoho CRM works for Ticket Routing automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to Zoho CRM alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for Ticket Routing, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Triage every @Zendesk ticket with @Zoho CRM
AI categorizes and prioritizes support tickets the moment they arrive — no manual triage needed.
- 03
Classify by topic and urgency
Teams typically see instant to the right queue and agent once the agent is in production.
- 04
Assign to the right queue with suggested next steps
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
- 05
You approve
Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.
