Solution

Move an incident from Desk to Jira without losing the thread.

Support copies ticket details into Jira, then checks Jira by hand to tell the customer what changed.

An escalated Zoho Desk ticket opens or updates a Jira issue, and Jira status changes return to the ticket as an internal note.
