Using Zendesk Tags with Dropzones

Need to sort your SendSafely Zendesk uploads by team, region, or access level? Our Dropzone integration for Zendesk can automatically route submissions to different Dropzones based on customer or organizational tags. Whether for regulatory compliance or just to isolate which internal teams can access incoming files, using tags can help you streamline workflows and ensure only the right people have access to the right files.

How it works

Using tags is simple and requires minimal configuration.

  1. Configure SendSafely Dropzones: Create dedicated SendSafely Dropzones, which will receive submissions from specific customers. For example if you have multiple SendSafely portals in different regions, you can have a US Dropzone and an EU Dropzone.

  2. Assign Zendesk Tags: In your Zendesk environment, apply the corresponding tags to individual users or organizations. For example, you can tag US customers with “US_Customer” and EU customers with “EU_Customer.”

  3. Add Dropzone Routing Logic: By making a small Javascript update to your Zendesk Help Center template, the code will automatically detect the regional tag associated with a logged-in user and route their submission to the correct SendSafely Dropzone.

Once configured, ticket attachments from any tagged customer will be automatically routed to the Dropzone associated with their regional tag. The same concept can also be used to route files to other Dropzones in the same region based on team or agent data isolation requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Can I route Zendesk file uploads to different SendSafely Dropzones?

Yes. SendSafely’s Dropzone integration for Zendesk can route submissions to different Dropzones based on tags applied to Zendesk users or organizations, for example sending US customers’ files to a US Dropzone and EU customers’ files to an EU Dropzone.

How do I set up tag-based Dropzone routing in Zendesk?

Create a dedicated Dropzone for each group, apply matching tags to users or organizations in Zendesk, then add a small JavaScript update to your Help Center template that detects the logged-in user’s tag and routes the submission to the correct Dropzone.

Why would I route Zendesk uploads by region?

Routing by region helps with regulatory compliance when you run SendSafely portals in different regions. Tagged customers’ attachments go to the Dropzone for their region, such as a US or EU Dropzone.

Can Zendesk tags route files by team instead of region?

Yes. The same tag-based approach can route files to different Dropzones in the same region based on team or agent data isolation requirements, so only the right internal team can access incoming files. Learn about Dropzones.

Does Zendesk Dropzone routing require custom code?

It requires a small JavaScript update to your Zendesk Help Center template. SendSafely provides instructions and sample code in a related Help Center article.
