Project details
Set Up and Optimize Your Zendesk for Smarter Customer Support
I build Zendesk setups that actually route, escalate, and report correctly, not just a ticket inbox. I've completed 258 Zendesk projects for 215+ clients, including multi-brand and multi-region helpdesks.
My Services:
• Core Setup: ticket forms, fields, and triggers configured around how your team actually works.
• Routing & SLAs: tickets go to the right agent, and escalations fire before deadlines slip.
• Reporting: custom Explore dashboards so you can see what's actually happening.
• Integrations: connect Zendesk to your CRM, Shopify, Slack, or other tools via API.
Why work with me: 258 completed Zendesk projects, Top Rated on Upwork, and a focus on Zendesk setups that scale with multi-brand and multi-region support teams.
See real setup screenshots and my full process in the gallery above.

Freshdesk to Zendesk Migration Expert Needed
when working together on the initial spec together, I suggested some edits and Muhammad pushed back and said "I must admit that I can't prepare a better document. In other words, I am an expert in configuring, customizing and implementing CRMs and customer support system. Preparing these kind of documents is not my forte"
so we ended it there

Looking for Intercomm expert for optimizing our Intercom setup
Did not deliver on the project and we still paid money. We provided a powerpoint with visual expectations and workflow processes and the Upworker delivered something that looked nothing like what we asked. In fact, we ended up in a worse place than before as he added our helpdesk to the messenger which was not supposed to be there.

I work with SaaS companies, eCommerce brands, and agencies, with 400+ five-star reviews along the way. I've launched helpdesks that run across multiple brands and regions, and automated the routing and follow-ups so nothing slips through the cracks.
