Talkdesk

Talkdesk is a cloud contact center platform with AI-assisted agent tooling for handling live claim-related calls. Polygrade’s own communication layer, SMS, voice, chat, and web form intake, runs alongside Talkdesk rather than through it, but the two systems meet wherever a homeowner’s claim and their support experience touch.

Where Polygrade and Talkdesk overlap

Polygrade’s own AI triage handles the routine SMS conversation upstream, so Talkdesk’s agents see a smaller, more complex slice of calls that actually need a person.

Polygrade’s homeowner triage runs over SMS with an 80 to 83 percent response rate, collecting model and serial numbers, photos, and symptom detail well before any conversation would reach Talkdesk. That’s the volume Talkdesk doesn’t have to handle.

Polygrade can pass current claim and authorization status into Talkdesk so agents aren’t starting from scratch on a call.

How the Talkdesk connection works

Talkdesk’s API supports interaction and CRM context data, which is where Polygrade writes claim status.

A Forward Deployed Engineer sets up the specific handoff points between Polygrade and Talkdesk during deployment, which claim events should write into Talkdesk, and on what trigger.

What stays in Talkdesk

Talkdesk continues to run exactly as it does today for everything outside an active claim, its own routing rules, agent workflows, and customer relationship history stay untouched.

Data handling and security

Claim status written into Talkdesk comes from a company-specific Polygrade instance, one client’s claim and customer data are never accessible to another. Polygrade is SOC 2 compliant, with both Type I and Type II audits complete.

Every automated communication Polygrade sends is logged, and any recommendation behind it carries a confidence level, so the SMS or chat history feeding Talkdesk is auditable back to why it was sent.

Deploying the integration

A dedicated Forward Deployed Engineer configures the specific events that sync between Polygrade and Talkdesk, matching how your team already uses Talkdesk for support.
