Znuny & Redmine Integration Extension – Connect Service Desk and Project Management

Summary: The Znuny & Redmine Integration Extension connects your service desk with Redmine project management. It links support tickets to Redmine issues, enabling smooth collaboration between customer service and project teams while providing complete traceability from request to resolution.

Why This Integration Matters

Support requests often evolve into project tasks or bug fixes. Without integration, service desk and project management systems remain siloed, causing duplication and communication gaps. The Znuny–Redmine Integration eliminates these silos, ensuring teams stay aligned and informed.

  • Seamless escalations
    create Redmine issues directly from Znuny tickets
  • Traceability
    link support requests to Redmine tasks, features, or bugs
  • Transparency
    status changes in Redmine are automatically reflected in Znuny
  • Efficiency
    reduce manual re-entry and keep data consistent

What Does the Integration Offer?

The extension provides a reliable synchronization layer between Znuny and Redmine.

  • create Redmine issues from Znuny tickets with a single click
  • map Znuny fields (priority, queue, SLA) to Redmine fields (tracker, priority, project)
  • sync Redmine status updates back into the related Znuny ticket
  • link multiple Znuny tickets to a single Redmine issue if required
  • log every synchronization event for audit and compliance

Key Features:

  • One-click escalation
    convert support tickets into Redmine issues without leaving Znuny
  • Bidirectional synchronization
    keep ticket and issue data aligned across both platforms
  • Customizable mappings
    define how ticket fields correspond to Redmine trackers, projects, or priorities
  • Role-based access
    restrict escalation and linking actions to authorized users
  • Compliance-ready logs
    all sync actions are recorded for transparency

Why Use Znuny–Redmine Integration?

This extension improves collaboration between service and project management teams:

  • Improved collaboration
    support agents and project managers share the same context
  • No double entry
    information flows seamlessly between systems
  • Traceable lifecycle
    track each issue from initial ticket to project resolution
  • Happier customers
