Install Act-On for Zendesk

  • Updated

Installing the Act-On app for Zendesk Sell lets your sales team see the Act-On behavior history for Leads and Contacts, and send emails to them using custom email templates that carry Act-On email tracking.

Why this matters: Sales reps who can see Act-On behavior history right inside Zendesk Sell can prioritize and personalize their outreach without switching tools.

Essentials to get started

Install the App from the Zendesk Marketplace

  1. In Zendesk Sell, navigate to Settings > Apps
  2. Click on the Marketplace button located in the top right corner of the My Apps page
  3. While in the App Directory, search for “Act-On”
  4. Click on Install when Act-On app is visible
    • Act-On App should now display in My Apps > Currently Installed section
  5. Click on the Gear icon from the app and select Change settings
  6. Add your Act-On Account ID
  7. Click Update

The Act-On Software app details panel in Zendesk Sell, showing the Title field set to "Act-On Software," the Account ID field, and an Update button.

Add the Widget

Now that the app has been installed, you can update your Lead and Contact layout to include the newly created widget that has the Act-On Information.

  1. Go to Settings > Customize > Layouts
  2. From the Leads tab, click and drag the Act-On Software card from the Hidden Widgets over to the Leads widget panel
  3. Repeat for the People tab

Next Steps

Once the widget has been installed, make sure your Act-On Administrator registers all Zendesk users for Act-On.
