What is Zendesk Talk?

Even in the age of emails, texts, and DMs, sometimes a problem is best solved by talking to a real human. Zendesk Talk connects a voice channel into Zendesk’s omnichannel solution—allowing agents to easily pick up the conversation from any channel and resolve complex issues faster. Businesses of all sizes can quickly deploy a voice solution tailored to their needs and easily adapt as their customer needs evolve.
