Set up Cases and Zendesk
Set up cases in a space to allow users in the space to keep track of security tasks and add Zendesk tickets directly from within the Mondoo Console. Cases setup involves configuring Mondoo to integrate with Zendesk.
For an overview of cases, read Track and Fix Findings with Cases and Your Ticket System.
Mondoo offers an alternative method for sharing cases with Zendesk: an email integration. This approach lets you tap into the automation features of Zendesk email channel. To learn how to create an email integration for cases, read Set up Cases to Email Your Ticket System.
