How to Send Quill Forms Data to Zendesk

Zendesk is a helpdesk platform. Quill Forms manages a conversational form is completed, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to Zendesk.

Why not just use Zapier?

For connecting Quill Forms to helpdesk, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with Quill Forms installed and configured.
• A Zendesk account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Zendesk to AFI

Zendesk uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Zendesk, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Quill Forms to Zendesk.

2. Pick your trigger

Select Quill Forms as the form provider. AFI fires when a conversational form is completed, giving you access to respondent name, email, phone, and any custom form answers.

3. Select Zendesk as the destination

Choose Zendesk from the platform dropdown and pick Create Ticket. This creates a ticket in Zendesk.

4. Map fields

Match each Zendesk field on the left to the corresponding Quill Forms field on the right. Common mappings include respondent name, email, phone, and any custom form answers. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in Quill Forms. Check Zendesk to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps subject, description, and email to Zendesk with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions
