Sharely

The ultimate Zendesk attachment viewer that transforms how your support agents work. Say goodbye to the download-open-close workflow that wastes 30-60 seconds per attachment. With Sharely, instantly preview PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx, .xls), CSV, and all image formats directly in your Zendesk sidebar. Your agents stay in their workflow, maintain context, and resolve tickets faster—all while keeping sensitive documents secure without local downloads cluttering their devices.

Sharely Document Preview Interface
Save 30-60 Seconds Per Attachment

Stop the time-draining download-open-delete cycle. Preview Excel spreadsheets, PDF invoices, Word documents, and images instantly in your Zendesk sidebar without ever touching your file system. For high-volume support teams handling dozens of attachments daily, this translates to 5-10 minutes saved per agent, per day—time that goes directly into faster ticket resolution and happier customers.

Enhanced Security: Zero Local Downloads

Protect sensitive customer data by eliminating unnecessary local file downloads. When agents preview documents in the Zendesk sidebar instead of downloading them, you reduce the risk of data leakage, maintain compliance with security policies, and keep endpoints cleaner. Files are viewed securely within your Zendesk environment and never clutter local machines or pose a security risk.

Universal Format Support

Whether customers send PDF contracts, Excel data exports (.xlsx, .xls), Word documentation (.docx), CSV files, or screenshots (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP), Sharely handles them all. Advanced viewing features include zoom controls, multi-page navigation for PDFs, spreadsheet tab switching, document search, and fullscreen mode—everything agents need for thorough document review without leaving Zendesk.

Install and Use Immediately

Get your team productive in under 5 minutes with zero configuration required. Install Sharely from the Zendesk Marketplace, and it automatically appears in your ticket sidebar ready to preview attachments. No API keys, no setup wizards, no training needed—just instant productivity gains for your entire support organization.

Ticket Viewer

SideTicket

The best app for side-by-side ticket viewing in Zendesk. Eliminate the productivity drain of constantly switching between browser tabs when handling related tickets. With SideTicket, pull up any ticket—previous conversations, linked issues, duplicates, or escalations—right in your sidebar while staying focused on the main ticket. For agents dealing with complex customer histories or multi-ticket workflows, this means 2-3x faster reference lookups and zero lost context from tab switching.

SideTicket Interface
True Side-by-Side Ticket Management

View two complete Zendesk tickets simultaneously—main ticket in the center, reference ticket in the sidebar. Perfect for comparing duplicate submissions, reviewing escalation history while responding, or referencing previous customer interactions. No more context loss from jumping between tabs. Agents report this feature alone saves them 2-3 minutes per complex ticket by eliminating the mental overhead of tab switching.

Powerful Ticket Search

Find any ticket instantly using ticket ID, subject line keywords, or even content from comments and replies. The smart search indexes your entire ticket database, so whether you remember a customer's exact ticket number or just a key phrase from their issue, you'll find it in seconds. Stop digging through browser history or manual searches—get the context you need immediately.

Complete Ticket History in Sidebar

Access the full conversation thread including all public replies, private internal notes, and ticket metadata—all from the sidebar view. Agents can review complete customer interaction history without opening new tabs. This is especially valuable when handling escalations where understanding the full context of previous conversations is critical to providing excellent support.

Optimized for Power Users

Built with keyboard-first navigation for maximum efficiency. Experienced agents can open, search, and navigate between tickets using intuitive keyboard shortcuts without ever touching the mouse. Combined with the side-by-side view, this creates a powerfully efficient workflow for senior support staff handling high ticket volumes or complex technical issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Zendesk productivity apps

How do I view Excel files in Zendesk without downloading?
Install the Sharely app from the Zendesk Marketplace. Once installed, Sharely automatically adds a preview panel to your ticket sidebar. When a ticket contains Excel attachments (.xlsx or .xls files), simply click on the file in Sharely's interface to view spreadsheets instantly—no download required. You can navigate between sheets, search data, view formulas, and zoom in on cells, all within the Zendesk sidebar. This eliminates the 30-60 second delay of downloading, opening in Excel, and then deleting the file.
What is the best app for side-by-side ticket viewing in Zendesk?
SideTicket (launching soon from Sharely Platform) is purpose-built for side-by-side ticket management in Zendesk. It displays a complete second ticket in your sidebar while you work on the main ticket, eliminating tab-switching entirely. Unlike basic ticket linking features, SideTicket shows the full conversation history, internal notes, and all ticket details. You can search for any ticket by ID, subject, or comment content, and pull it up instantly in the sidebar. This is invaluable for handling duplicate tickets, reviewing escalation history, or checking previous customer interactions without losing context.
Can I preview PDF documents directly in the Zendesk sidebar?
Yes! Sharely provides full PDF preview capabilities right in your Zendesk sidebar. You can view multi-page PDF documents with page navigation controls, zoom in to read fine print, search for specific text within the document, and even open PDFs in fullscreen mode for detailed review—all without downloading. This is especially useful for reviewing contracts, invoices, technical documentation, or reports that customers attach to tickets. The preview is instant and secure, processing files within your Zendesk environment.
How much time does a document preview app save for Zendesk agents?
On average, downloading and opening an attachment takes 30-60 seconds—time that adds up quickly across dozens of daily tickets. With Sharely's instant preview, agents save this time on every single attachment. For a typical support agent handling 20-30 tickets with attachments per day, this translates to 5-10 minutes saved daily, or roughly 40-80 hours per agent per year. Beyond raw time savings, eliminating the context switch of leaving Zendesk to open external applications helps agents maintain focus and resolve tickets more efficiently. Many of our 300+ daily users report feeling less frustrated and more productive after adopting Sharely.
Are Zendesk attachment previews secure?
Yes. Sharely processes all document previews securely within your Zendesk environment using Zendesk's native attachment access mechanisms. Files are never stored on external servers or agent devices. In fact, sidebar preview is more secure than traditional downloading because it eliminates the risk of sensitive customer documents accumulating on agent computers, USB drives, or cloud sync folders. By keeping documents within the Zendesk ecosystem, you maintain better control over customer data, reduce compliance risks, and ensure that sensitive information doesn't leak outside your secured support platform.
