How to create a UseDesk API key
Here is a step-by-step instruction from the UseDesk blog:
Go to your UseDesk account;
Turn on API integration in Settings under Integration: https://secure.usedesk.ru/settings/integration;
3. Now, navigate to Channels https://secure.usedesk.ru/settings/channels and select "Set up API";

You should receive a test mention. Check how it looks in UseDesk.
Congratulations! Your integration is set up and ready to use.
The rest is easy: simply use this integration to create UseDesk tickets.
Set up an automation rule for sending mentions to UseDesk
You can use Rules to create a conditional statement to send mentions to a different tool automatically.
To create a new rule:
Open mentions stream.
Select necessary filters.
Select all mentions.
Click a magic wand button to create a rule.
In the rule creation window, select Send to integrated service
Pick your UseDesk integration.
After setting up the rule, all new mentions that satisfy the conditional statement will be automatically sent to UseDesk.
It is also possible to get all the new mentions to UseDesk. Select all mentions without applied filters and hit the yellow magic wand to create a rule.
