Manage tickets visually with Kanban for Zendesk

A better way to plan, prioritize, and deliver — without leaving Zendesk.

SweetHawk’s Kanban app transforms your Zendesk tickets into clear, visual boards that help teams stay organized and focused. Build unlimited Kanban boards and define your workflow using any Zendesk dropdown field — turning complex queues into a drag-and-drop experience that keeps everyone aligned.

Having Kanban available in the Zendesk top bar means you can update cards and tickets simultaneously. Move cards between columns to instantly update the linked dropdown field, keeping your data accurate and your workflows flowing.

Whether you’re managing tickets, planning projects, mapping SLAs, or brainstorming ideas, Kanban gives you the flexibility to visualize and control your work directly in Zendesk.

With full translations in Portuguese, German, Dutch, Spanish, and Japanese, Kanban ensures a smooth experience for global teams.
