What each tool sees on its ownShow less
WordPress on its own
WordPress knows what is published and when it changed. Without analytics beside it, it has no idea which pages bring in work.
Timing. WordPress stamps the publish and modified date on every post and page, which marks exactly when content changed.
Access. The WordPress REST API with an application password.
Zendesk on its own
Zendesk sees the complaint and how it was handled. It cannot see what the customer is worth or whether they bought again.
Timing. Zendesk timestamps every ticket, reply and status change.
Access. The Zendesk Support API with a read-only token.
