Configure data lookup and response settings as follows:
-
Data Lookup (Response Body): Choose the information to be fetched into the ticket, such as "Total Price" or "Tags", based on the object type selected earlier.
-
Destination Field to Store Value: Decide where to save the retrieved data in Zendesk:
- Save "Tags" from Shopify directly into the Zendesk "Tags" ticket field.
- For "Total Price", create a custom "Price" field to store the value.
Note: Only objects with granted permissions will appear in the list, following the same logic mentioned earlier.
7. Utilizing Advanced Mode for Enhanced Experience
Take your setup a notch higher with advanced settings:
- Click on "Advanced Mode" to explore additional options.

- Tagging the ticket as "vip_customer" can help in prioritizing and routing it to a specific team.
Through these configurations, you can create a more responsive and personalized customer service experience. Make sure to test your settings thoroughly to ensure they meet your needs and contribute to a seamless and efficient workflow.
