Add External Knowledge Sources to Zendesk

Zendesk's native knowledge features are limited to Help Center articles and macros. AI Knowledge Base by Macha lets you add external knowledge sources and use them directly while resolving tickets.

Connect external sources

Add websites, product pages, and documentation outside Zendesk as knowledge sources.

Unified knowledge access

External sources appear alongside Help Center articles and macros inside Zendesk.

AI-powered relevance

The AI automatically surfaces the most relevant content for each ticket.

Why external knowledge matters in Zendesk

As support teams grow, critical information starts living outside Zendesk — product details on Shopify, policies published on public websites, FAQs maintained outside the Help Center, and internal documentation in separate tools.

When this knowledge isn't accessible in Zendesk, agents search manually across tools, answers become inconsistent, and resolution times increase.

How AI Knowledge Base adds external sources

You can currently add external websites (automatically scraped), Shopify product pages, Zendesk Help Center articles, and Zendesk Macros. Coming soon: Notion documents and Confluence spaces.

Once connected, the AI indexes these sources and makes them instantly searchable and usable inside Zendesk.

How AI Knowledge Base adds external sources

Use external knowledge while resolving tickets

When an agent opens a Zendesk ticket, relevant external content is recommended automatically, agents can search across all sources using plain English, and results are clearly labeled by source.

This allows agents to answer questions using the most accurate and up-to-date information — even when it lives outside Zendesk.

Use external knowledge while resolving tickets

Fewer tab switches

Agents access all knowledge directly inside Zendesk.

Broader coverage

Answer questions that Help Center articles alone can't.

Consistent answers

Everyone uses the same external sources across tickets.

Scales with your stack

Add more sources as your tools and documentation grow.

Macha has been a great addition to our support toolkit. It generates clear, well-organized responses that fit naturally into our workflow. One feature we particularly appreciate is its ability to automatically reply in the same language as the ticket.

So far it's pretty good! Our queries are a little nuanced, so we can't always use it, but it's got enough utility for us. It can even incorporate our bilingual country with greetings in a second language.
