Who EzyConn is built for

Choose EzyConn if

  • A free plan that runs on real traffic, with the AI agent included rather than sold as an add-on.
  • Booking real appointments inside the conversation, with your calendar checked first.
  • A hand-over the customer agrees to, with your team replying from the inbox or Slack.
  • WhatsApp, Telegram, email and an inbound phone line answered by the same agent.

Moving from Zendesk

From sign-up to answering, in four steps

No developer needed. The assistant learns from what you have already written, and your team keeps working where it works now.

  1. Point it at your help centre

    Give EzyConn the address of your public Zendesk help centre. It scans the site, finds the linked articles, you keep the ones you want, and it reads them.

  2. Add files and exact answers

    Upload PDF, Word, plain text, Markdown or CSV files. Then write exact questions and answers for the replies your team sends most.

  3. Paste the snippet, add channels

    Paste one script snippet on your site and the chat goes live. Connect WhatsApp, Telegram, email or an inbound line on your own Twilio number to have the same agent answer there.

  4. Choose how hand-over routes

    Route hand-overs manually, by round robin, to the least busy teammate or to the most recently active one. Your team replies from the shared inbox or from Slack threads that reach the customer.

FAQ

EzyConn and Zendesk, the questions people ask

Answered from the product and from their own pages.

Is EzyConn a good alternative to Zendesk?

For a team that wants an AI agent answering from its own content, priced by plan, with a hand-over the customer agrees to and bookings in the chat, yes. It reads your public Zendesk help centre, so the articles you have already written become its answers.

How does pricing compare?

Zendesk charges per agent (Support Team from $19 and Suite Team $55 a month billed annually, on 6 October 2026), includes 5 or 10 AI resolutions per agent a month, then charges $1.50 to $2.00 for each one after that. EzyConn charges per plan, with seats, monthly messages and the AI agent included, and has a free plan. Current EzyConn prices are on the pricing page.

Can EzyConn read our Zendesk help centre?

Yes. Give it your public help centre address: EzyConn scans the site, finds the linked articles, you keep the ones you want, and it reads them. Content kept behind a login can go in as files or written answers.

Can my team reply from Slack?

With EzyConn, yes: a reply in the conversation’s Slack thread goes back to the customer. Slack for Zendesk creates tickets and adds internal notes, and agents reply to customers from Zendesk.

Can either one book appointments?

EzyConn books real appointments in your diary through its ready-made processes, with Google and Microsoft 365 calendars checked for busy times. We found no native booking in Zendesk; its AI agents can act in outside systems through integrations you set up.
