Managing Assets with Custom Objects in Zendesk
How can I manage assets using custom objects in Zendesk?

Custom objects can replace external systems for managing assets like hardware or software licenses. This approach involves creating custom objects, adding lookup relationship fields to tickets, importing asset data, and configuring triggers to use these custom objects.
