Building a Zendesk clone with Bubble involves several steps, starting with registering a free account and choosing whether to wireframe the design or build the necessary fields within the database. Using Bubble's visual design tool, you can shape the user interface of your platform, including pages for customer support, dashboard, and ticket display. Configuring the database creates data types and fields, such as users, tickets, and internal comments, which are then used to create workflows that power the application. Workflows are triggered by events, such as creating a new support ticket or updating the assignee of an existing ticket. The app also includes features like displaying dynamic content on a ticket page, assigning tickets to team members, and marking tickets as complete, allowing users to replicate the core features of Zendesk without coding.
