Zendesk For WHMCSMax Berg 2 years agoWe were looking for a way to integration our Zendesk ticketing system with WHMCS. I'm happy my colleagues found the plugin. It works very well even with Zendesk multibrand. Our customers didn't even notice that we moved from the built-in WHMCS ticketing system to Zendesk! Nice work!
