Question

RH 2020 - Could not Connect to the Site when trying to publish to ZenDesk

  • March 24, 2021

I'm trying to publish some topics in RoboHelp 2020 to our Zendesk KB.

 

I've watched the video explaining how to do this.

 

I've set up my output and Zendesk profile.

 

I've enabled API in ZenDesk.

 

I've checked my UserID and password about 10 times

 

Everytime I try and save the publish profile, I get a "Could not conntect to the site. Check your site credentials message". I know the credentials are correct.  I'm an admin user in ZenDesk.

 

When I look at the Output preset, I have the drop-downs for "Visible To" and "Managed By" but these obviously aren't populated because I can't connect.

 

Any ideas what I might be missing. I've followed all the steps in the online help.

 

Thanks

      Unfortunately, we didn't get this resolved. We had additional issues publishing to Salesforce, which still aren't resolved. We have had to take the difficult decision to switch to Flare because publishing to both these destinations is an absolute must.

       

      I have to say that Adobe Support we extremely poor and constantly tried to push back the issue on us, even though we had tried and tested everything (which they asked us to do multiple times). They are working with my colleague to produce a build based on the fixes they have applied specificallt for us and as far as I am aware, they are looking to implement this in a forthcoming release. We are now able to publish to Salesforce with RH, albeit, we still have problems with images. It may be worth checking with support to see if anything is going to be released soon.

       

      Sorry, not much help, but I would definitely take a look at the language setting.

      I had a similar problem with Flare relating to ZenDesk and they were brilliant - check tht the language you are using in ZenDesk is the same as in RoboHelp. We have UK English in one and US English in the other. Changed in ZenDesk and it worked perfectly. Not sure if this might help with RH?

      Sorry but I can't help you on that part. Either try the email address below or the link to Support.

       

      When you have resolved this, it would help if you could come back and post the solution.

      It was resolved in Update 5. You can apply that to your trial version. Help > Check for Updates.

      @Peter Grainge I am on the most recent version of the trial. I have the proper settings configured in Zendesk and Robohelp but, I am unable to publish. Within Output Presets > Publish Profile for Zendesk, my "Visible to" and "Managed by" are blank. There is nothing in dropdown and I am unable to type anything. 

       

      What am I missing? I've been searching through forums and tutorial videos. Im not sure where to go from here.

      Thanks Jeff - will do. I've communicated via chat, but they keep saying they will get back to me and don't. Is the telephone number free? I'm assuming it's only covered based on US time? Thanks

      Is your RH2020 version all patched up? Check the point version - there have been 3 patches so far & #4 is coming in a few days (from what we've been told here).
