4. Add the security token

As soon as the training of the AI engine is complete, Jatana will be able to understand requests coming from your customers, provide suggestions and automate some of the interactions.

To protect your privacy and that of your customers, we encrypt all the communications between Jatana and Zendesk. We do so using a security TOKEN that you can see directly from the SETTINGS page of your dashboard.

To make sure the suggestions coming from your custom AI engine can be decrypted exclusively by your Zendesk account, you’ll have to copy the TOKEN from the SETTINGS page of your Jatana account and paste it in the Jatana Token field inside Zendesk.

First, you’ll have to go to your SETTINGS page and copy the token by clicking COPY TOKEN as shown in the image below.

Then you’ll have to navigate to the App Configuration page in your Zendesk account. Once again, you can call yourself lucky!

We have already prepared a direct link to the app configuration page, you simple have to substitute [MYSUBDOMAIN] with your actual sub-domain:

-https://[MYSUBDOMAIN].zendesk.com/agent/admin/apps/manage

And paste the token in the TOKEN FROM JATANA field shown below.

5. Celebrate!

It’s celebration time! You are ready to start automating customer support with Jatana and you’ll soon see how powerful your custom Artificial Intelligence engine can be.

On behalf of the whole Jatana team, I’m happy to welcome you to the family!
