Zendesk is where support lives. It’s fast, focused, and built for productivity.

But the moment a ticket needs engineering, the flow breaks.

Now you’re pasting context into Jira. Or pinging someone on Slack. Or both.

You’re copying logs, linking tickets, summarizing customer pain. Just to get the issue in front of the right person.

And then? You’re switching back and forth, hoping for updates.

That context lives in Zendesk. But the fix happens somewhere else.

Pluno keeps those worlds in sync. Escalate from Zendesk in one click. Engineers get what they need in Jira or Slack. You stay in the flow, and the customer gets timely updates, without manual chasing.

No more babysitting. No more silence. Just visible, moving tickets with a clear path to resolution.

Key features:
- One-click escalations from Zendesk to Slack or Jira
- Creates summaries based on customizable escalation templates using the full ticket context
- Bi-directional (Zendesk ↔️ Slack/Jira) Communication Sync
- AI Workflows for Escalation Rules

Who it’s for:
Pluno is built for SaaS support teams who want less stress and a smooth and reliable escalation process. If you’re tired of the manual escalation chaos, we made this for you.

It’s perfect for teams using Jira or Slack for escalations and trying to:
- Remove manual steps and redundant steps, and back-and-forth in the escalation process.
- Reduce errors and missed follow-ups.
- Keep their customers in the loop about the progress of their issues.
- Improve resolution times and CSAT.
- Help every agent use their time better and get more done.
- Stay lean and keep processes scalable without adding headcount.

Streamlined ticket escalations are a must! 👍

Congrats on the launch! This looks like a great product to keep engineering and support aligned.

How does the communication sync work? Do all the Jira comments get forwarded to the support team?

@t03i 
We’re using our AI pipeline to evaluate every update on an escalation, including Jira comments, for relevance to other teams or the customer.

This lets engineers discuss implementation details in Jira without automatically triggering an update to the support team.


And when there’s a relevant update, like a timeline estimate for a fix, the AI detects it and forwards it to the support team, so they can inform the customer.

You will be surprised how well this works. Feel free to give a try and share your feedback :)

One-click escalation with smart summaries? This is how you bridge support and engineering teams without the chaos. Higher CSAT through fewer context switches - every support lead’s dream. 👏
