# Zendesk Talk

Zendesk Talk is the built-in voice solution inside Zendesk Support, letting your team handle inbound and outbound calls, manage IVR menus, and track agent performance — all within the Zendesk ecosystem. Connecting it to Coupler.io lets you pull call records, agent activity, queue status, and phone configuration data into your analytics tools.

**Why connect Zendesk Talk to Coupler.io?**

* Export call logs, agent activity, and queue metrics to Google Sheets, Excel, BigQuery, or Looker Studio for custom reporting
* Combine Zendesk Talk data with other sources (like Zendesk Support tickets) using **Join** or **Append** transformations
* Send call summaries and agent performance data to AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for automated analysis
* Keep a historical record of call data outside Zendesk Talk's own retention limits

## Prerequisites

* A Zendesk account with Talk enabled
* Your Zendesk subdomain (e.g., `yourcompany.zendesk.com`)
* A Zendesk API token — generate one in **Admin Center → Apps and integrations → Zendesk API → API tokens**
* Your Zendesk agent email address (used alongside the API token)

## Quick start

{% hint style="success" %}
Start with the **Calls** or **Agents activities** entity — these give you the most actionable data right away.
