|style="padding: 10px 0px 5px 0px;"|'''Zendesk Extended For Magento 2''' enables the remote use of Zendesk tools upon the integration built between Magento and Zendesk.<br />
+
|style="padding: 10px 0px 10px 0px;"|'''Hosting Quota Notifications For WHMCS''' allows you to send automatic notifications to your clients whenever they exceed previously set bandwidth or disk usage.
With this extension, all operations on Zendesk tickets or even the creation of Zendesk accounts can be performed within your eCommerce platform.<br />
+
Notifications can be sent in two ways: upon exceeding given resource tier or after exceeding given resource limit in a specified time period.<br />
Your clients, at the same time, will be free to handle each submitted ticket straight in the Magento customer panel.
+
You can also define email templates and view details of each sent notification owing to logs.
