Fields
internationalSearch
	When making an outbound call—using either Click to dial or the Make Call button—in Vonage in Zendesk, Vonage searches for a user record and ticket related to the dialed number. Vonage uses the number in either national format or both national and international formats to search for the related records. The format or formats Vonage uses depends on your configuration. Searching for numbers in both formats helps ensure that Vonage locates and links outbound calls to the correct user records and tickets. To use both national and international phone number formats, select the internationalSearch check box. By default, the internationalSearch check box is cleared. We recommend that you select the internationalSearch check box.
popContactpadAutomatically
	When you log in to Zendesk, ContactPad can be popped automatically or require agents to click the Vonage icon in the top right navigation bar of Zendesk. Will also pop the Contactpad automatically even when there is no search, so you can answer the WebRTC call. To pop ContactPad automatically for agents when they log in to Zendesk, select popWindowAutomatically.
createTicketOnInboundCall
	Creates a new ticket for every inbound call and links it to the latest created contact that matches the CLID, if VCC has found a ticket in the IVR and has to be set to pop, this current ticket will pop and a new ticket will not be created.

linkToCurrentCase
	Enables an agent to link a call to a different case from where it was started. If you select linkToCurrentCase, a Link to Current Ticket button appears in ContactPad. Clicking the button links the current call to the currently open case in Zendesk.
domain
	The address of the Vonage cloud you want to use with Zendesk. Agents log in to this address to use Vonage. Example: emea.newvoicemedia.com
phoneFields
	Vonage uses standard Zendesk phone fields in two ways: Screen pop display. Vonage displays screen pops for inbound and outbound calls. Vonage locates the information to pop by matching the inbound or outbound telephone number with a user record or ticket within Zendesk. Click to dial. The Click to dial feature enables agents to make an outbound call to a customer, simply by selecting the phone number in the application and clicking Click to Dial. To use custom phone number fields for screen pops and Click to dial, type the field key for the custom field in phoneFields. Separate multiple field keys with commas. To find the field key or keys for your custom field or fields, click User Fields in the MANAGE section in the menu on the left side of the window. User Fields appears.

Example: Primary phone number
ticketFormId
	Zendesk administrators use ticket forms to create specific ticket templates for users, presenting whichever fields are appropriate for different types of tickets. To specify the form that agents use when they create new tickets through the app, type the specific ticket form ID. To find the ID for your ticket form, click Ticket Forms in the MANAGE section in the menu on the left side of the window. Ticket Forms appears. Click the name of the form whose ID you want to know in the Active forms list. The Form ID appears at the end of the URL in your browser address bar.
