Yext Adds New Zendesk Integrations to Bolster Customer Support OfferingsNEW YORK, June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Yext, Inc. (NYSE: YEXT), the AI Search Company, today announced new integrations with Zendesk, Inc. (NYSE: ZEN), as part of its continued focus on empowering customer support teams. Yext Support Answers, released in May, is a suite of enterprise search solutions built on Yext's AI-powered platform for customer support use cases. With the new integrations announced today, businesses using Support Answers and Zendesk's popular customer support tools can further equip their support agents and customers to self-serve in a variety of ways:
"Customer support and AI search go hand in hand, and are even more tightly linked as customers ask more questions online to resolve their issues independently," said Joe Jorczak, Head of Industry for Service and Support at Yext, who recently joined the company from Zendesk. "We're excited to continue our work with Zendesk, a leading company in this space, on integrations that set the precedent for how seamless the customer support experience can and should be today." These integrations are the latest developments in Yext and Zendesk's ongoing work together, joining the Zendesk data connectors already in Yext's App Directory — including the Zendesk Guide App, which syncs help articles between the two platforms to power a business's search experiences with official information, reduce data silos, and manage data at scale. The companies will come together again on Thursday, June 24th, for Zendesk's "A CX Moment with Yext" webinar, where host Sarah Reed will chat with Katie Ludwig, Yext's VP of Platform Services & Support, about the power of self-service and search, and how businesses can use modern search in their support strategy to improve the customer experience.

About Yext With the explosion of information and data online, search has never been more important. However, while the world of consumer search has innovated over time, enterprise search has not. In fact, the majority of enterprise search is powered by outdated keyword search technology that only scans for keywords and delivers a list of hyperlinks rather than actually answering questions. Yext, the AI Search Company, offers a modern, AI-powered Answers Platform that understands natural language so that when people ask questions about a business online they get direct answers – not links. Brands like Verizon, Vanguard, Subway and Marriott — as well as organizations like the U.S. State Department and World Health Organization — trust Yext to radically improve their business with answers-led AI search.
