How to Track Birdie ROI in Zendesk with a Tag

If you're using Birdie in Zendesk and want to measure its impact on your support operations, the easiest way is to automatically tag tickets that include a Birdie screen recording.

This allows you to later filter and compare metrics like resolution time, CSAT, or First Contact Resolution on tickets with vs. without Birdie.

Add a Birdie tag

How to add a Birdie tag

1. Go to Admin Center → Objects and Rules → Triggers

2. Click Add Trigger

3. Name your trigger: Birdie

4. Add the following condition:

Category: Ticket > Comment text Operator: Contains the following string Value: share.birdie.so

1. Under Actions, add:

Category: Ticket > Add tags Value: Birdie

1. Click Save

Specific: Zendesk ticket form and custom field

If you've added Birdie to your Zendesk ticket form, and the screen recording URL is posted in a dedicated custom field (instead of the comment), you'll need to adjust your trigger slightly.

Here’s how to automatically tag those tickets when a Birdie recording is present:

1. Add the following condition:

Category: Ticket > [Your custom field name] Operator: Present (This checks whether a Birdie video was submitted in the field)

1. Under Actions, add:

Category: Ticket > Add tags Value: Birdie

What if I want to track when a Birdie Recording Is Requested

1. Go to Admin Center → Objects and Rules → Triggers

2. Click Add Trigger

3. Name it: Birdie Recording Requested

4. Add these two conditions:

Category: Ticket > Comment text Operator: Contains the following string Value: birdie.so/rec

AND

Category: Ticket > Comment text Operator: Contains the following string Value: birdie.so/urec

(You can use “ANY” logic between the two if they’re in separate groups.)

1. Under Actions, add:

Category: Ticket > Add tags Value: birdie_request

1. Click Save
