Extension (Desk Marketplace)

Zoho Desk Marketplace extensions add third-party integrations and new capabilities to Zoho Desk, from telephony providers to project management and industr

An extension in the Zoho Desk Marketplace is a third-party or Zoho-built integration that adds functionality or connectivity to Zoho Desk. Extensions are installed from the Marketplace and range from telephony integrations to productivity tools and external system connectors.

What the Desk Marketplace Offers

The Zoho Desk Marketplace hosts hundreds of extensions including telephony providers (Exotel, Twilio), payment gateways, project management tools (Jira, Asana), communication platforms (Slack, Microsoft Teams), field service solutions, and specialised vertical tools for healthcare, e-commerce, and finance.

Installing and Managing Extensions

Administrators install extensions from the Marketplace in Zoho Desk’s Settings. Each extension has a dedicated configuration page where API credentials and integration settings are entered. Installed extensions appear in the ticket interface or as additional workflow actions.

Building Custom Extensions

Organisations with specific integration needs can build custom extensions using the Zoho Desk SDK and publish them privately for their own account or publicly on the Marketplace. Custom extensions follow the same framework as Marketplace extensions and appear in the same agent interface locations.

Example: A healthcare company installs a Zoho Desk Marketplace extension connecting to their Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system. Agents handling patient support tickets see the patient’s recent appointments and medical history directly in the Zoho Desk ticket view, enabling more informed support responses.
