Desk

Overview

Connect Desk to Datadog to view your Salesforce support case data in an OOTB dashboard. The dashboard allows you to:

  • Tail new case events in the event stream
  • Visualize case stats by user and status
  • View trends in support tickets alongside DevOps issues

For more information, see Keep support on the same page with the Salesforce Desk integration.

Then from your Datadog account, enter the corresponding information on the Desk tile along with your company’s unique Desk domain name. Hit the install button, and then you’re all set.
