Zendo

npm version

Zendo is a minimal command line utility that displays some basic ticket status information in the terminal for Zendesk agents.

When properly configured, the default mode of operation uses the Zendesk API to fetch and display the following information in colorized Markdown format:

  • Ticket mood: Emoji indicating your current ticket mood based on the ratio of open vs. pending status tickets: 😞 😐 😄
  • Total number of tickets
  • Total number of tickets in open status
  • Total number of tickets in pending status
  • Ticket number, customer ID, and ticket subject

Setup (npm)

Install the zendo module with npm like so:

npm install zendo -g

Example Configuration File

Create a ~/.zendo-config.json configuration file containing the following:

{
  "zd_name": "Stephie Andretti"
  "zd_email": "stephie@example.com",
  "zd_token": "XXXxxXXxXXXXxXxXxxxXXXxxXXXXxXXXX",
  "zd_uri": "https://example.zendesk.com/api/v2",
}
  • zd_name : Set to your full name
  • zd_email : Set to your Zendesk account email address
  • zd_token : Set to your Zendesk API token
  • zd_uri : Set to your Zendesk API v2 URI

Setup (GitHub)

To run with a git clone, perform these steps instead:

git clone https://github.com/brianshumate/zendo.git
cd zendo
npm install
npm link

Copy zendo-config.json-dist to zendo-config.json and edit the values within it to match your setup based on the example and information in the Example Configuration File above:

cp etc/zendo-config.json-dist ~/.zendo-config.json
$EDITOR zendo-config.json

Usage

Run the executable:

zendo

By default, zendo emits the customer's ID and not the organization name, with the reasoning that this is both safer and that the agent will likely recall the customer based on the ticket number or subject information.
