Skill-based Routing

You can use the skill-based routing API to list skill types and skills, as well as list and set skills for tickets and agents. To learn more about the feature, see Using skills-based routing in the Support Help Center.

In this API, skill types are named attributes and skills are named attribute values.

Skill-based routing is only available on the Enterprise plan and above.

Attribute

An attribute in this API refers to a skill type. Skill types are categories of skills.

Name	Type	Comment
id	string	Automatically assigned when an attribute is created
name	string	The name of the attribute

Attribute Values

An attribute value in this API refers to a skill. Skills are associated with an agent and determine the agent's suitability to solve a ticket.

Name	Type	Comment
id	string	Automatically assigned when an attribute value is created
name	string	The name of the attribute value
attribute_id	string	Id of the associated attribute

JSON format

Skill Based Routing are represented as JSON objects with the following properties:

Name	Type	Read-only	Mandatory	Description
created_at	string	true	false	When this record was created
id	string	true	false	Automatically assigned when an attribute is created
name	string	false	true	The name of the attribute
updated_at	string	true	false	When this record was last updated
url	string	true	false	URL of the attribute

Example

{
  "created_at": "2017-12-01T19:29:31Z",
  "id": "15821cba-7326-11e8-b07e-950ba849aa27",
  "name": "color",
  "updated_at": "2017-12-01T19:29:31Z",
  "url": "https://{subdomain}.zendesk.com/api/v2/routing/attributes/15821cba-7326-11e8-b07e-950ba849aa27.json"
}

• GET /api/v2/routing/attributes

Returns a list of attributes for the account.

Sideloads

The following sideloads are supported:
