There are two parts of the installation process for the Secure Share for Zendesk app. To start, you need to install the app via the Zendesk Marketplace. Then you need to generate an API token and send it to Virtru. Once you do, Virtru will process your request within 1-2 business days. Once complete, your users can then leverage the Secure Share app in Zendesk!
