This ensures agents always use the latest brand-approved and version-controlled content when responding to cases.

• Reduces time spent searching for support materials
• Improves first-contact resolution with accurate content
• Prevents agents from sharing outdated or unapproved documents

2. Embed dynamic knowledge content into support workflows

AEM Assets can feed rich media and support content into Zendesk macros, ticket forms, and agent workspace views. For example, a telecom provider can surface device setup videos or service diagrams based on the ticket category, helping agents respond faster with the right visual guidance.

• Standardizes responses across support teams
• Speeds up handling of repetitive issues
• Improves customer understanding through visual instructions

3. Trigger asset requests from customer support cases

Data flow: Zendesk ? Adobe Experience Manager Assets

When support teams identify a recurring issue that requires new or updated content, Zendesk tickets can be routed to marketing, product, or creative teams as asset requests in AEM workflows. For example, if customers frequently ask for a clearer onboarding guide, the support insight can initiate a request for a new PDF or tutorial video.

• Turns support feedback into content improvement actions
• Creates a structured handoff between support and content teams
• Helps reduce future ticket volume by addressing content gaps

4. Attach customer-facing assets to automated ticket responses

Zendesk automations can insert relevant AEM-managed assets into outbound responses based on issue type, product line, or customer segment. For example, a retailer can automatically send a return policy document, assembly guide, or product care video when a ticket matches a specific category.

• Improves consistency in customer communications
• Reduces manual effort for agents and supervisors
• Supports scalable self-service and deflection strategies

5. Maintain a single source of truth for support collateral

Data flow: Bi-directional, with AEM Assets as the master repository and Zendesk consuming approved content

Organizations can use AEM Assets as the controlled source for all customer support collateral while Zendesk references those assets through links, previews, or embedded content. Updates made in AEM automatically flow into Zendesk, ensuring support teams always use the current version of product sheets, troubleshooting steps, and service notices.

• Eliminates duplicate content storage across systems
• Reduces version control issues
• Ensures compliance with brand and legal review processes

6. Use support trends to prioritize asset creation and updates

Zendesk analytics can identify recurring customer pain points, high-volume ticket themes, and common product questions.

• Aligns content production with actual customer demand
• Improves support content ROI
• Helps reduce ticket volume over time

7. Support branded, localized content delivery for global service teams
