What this app does

The Bugpilot app makes it easy to collect detailed technical information from your end users right when they encounter a problem. With the Zendesk app, you will be able to:

  • Receive detailed bug reports automatically for each conversation right in Zendesk Support

  • Easily open the bug reports and share them with your colleagues

  • Request a screen recording, or grab a screenshot with just one button

If you already have the app installed, you may want to read the How to use the app article instead.

Confirm that you want to proceed with the installation and click the green button named Authorize Access.

After approving the necessary permissions, you will be redirected to the Bugpilot dashboard to complete the setup.

Add the Bugpilot tracking code
