Zammad
· #207 most-usedOpen-source helpdesk that turns every support channel into agent fuel
Zammad is an open-source helpdesk and customer support platform that centralises email, chat, phone, and social channels into a single unified ticket queue. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can create and update support groups, triage incoming tickets, post internal notes, audit SLA compliance, and keep HubSpot and Slack in sync — all without a human touching the queue. Teams that live in Zammad get omnichannel coverage with the automation depth of a bespoke support stack.
Eliminates manual work. Actionist eliminates the manual triage, group reassignment, and cross-tool status-sync work that support ops teams repeat dozens of times each day in Zammad.
What your Zammad agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Zammad × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Inbox ticket to resolved in 60 seconds
When a customer email lands in Gmail, your agent reads the open Zammad ticket for that sender, posts an internal note with triage context, notifies the on-call support engineer in Slack, and drops a 30-minute follow-up slot on the team calendar — all before anyone has opened their laptop. First-response SLA stays green even during peak volume, and the support engineer walks into every ticket already knowing what happened.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot
