Jumpstart your Zendesk Support analytics with reusable blocks

dbt packages can speed up your work

Once you replicate your Zendesk Support data with Stitch, you can use it in many ways. For example, you can use the data modeling and transformation tool dbt to prepare data for reporting, analytics, or machine learning applications.

Dbt has prebuilt packages for many Stitch data sources, including Zendesk Support. Here’s a look at code for modeling Zendesk Support data. This particular block of code transforms your Zendesk Support data so you can analyze your ticket metrics.

... or use Looker blocks with your Zendesk Support data

We've developed a Looker Block for Zendesk Support data provisioned by Stitch. This block includes prebuilt code to create dashboards and models that can help uncover insights from your Zendesk Support data.

Here’s a look at one of the LookML files for Zendesk Support data. This Looker Block includes three dashboards that provide analysis on agent performance, ticket submissions, and overall customer support metrics. The LookML file shown here produces an overview dashboard that allows you to view understand ticket submission trends. Other dashboards included in this block are: Overview dashboard - View ticket submissions over time to understand the level at which your customers are leveraging your support team - See the breakdown of ticket submissions by channel to understand where most of your support requests are generated - See your top 20 all-time agents, requesters, and organizations by number of tickets to see identify the key players in customer support - See a ticket tag breakdown over time to understand how customer priorities have shifted Agent performance dashboard - Monitor your support team's all-time reply and resolution time to measure against SLAs - See how your team's response and reply time have fluctuated over time to identify trends and opportunities for improvement or celebration groups and more efficiently manage resources - Identify top performers in your organization Ticket submissions dashboard - Evaluate the volume at which organizations are submitting tickets to identify which organizations are requiring the most attention of your team - Identify how average tickets per organization changes over time to see whether documentation, tutorials, demos, and product changes or releases are taking a load off your team - See ticket submission volume by hour of the day and day of the week to more efficiently allocate resources

Simplify your data.world migration

When it comes to replicating your data to data.world, conventional ETL is no longer the only game in town.

Writing ETL code requires big investments of time, money, and expertise that might otherwise be used for innovation. Most importantly, newer approaches to data ingestion deliver faster implementation than traditional ETL, so you can produce data analytics and business intelligence more quickly.

This is where Stitch can help.

All your data, where you need it

Give your analysts, data scientists, and other team members the freedom to use the analytics tools of their choice.
