Zendesk

Access tickets and conversations from Zendesk

How it works

The Zendesk Connector can sync content from your Zendesk instance, supporting two content types:

  • Articles: Syncs all published Articles from your company's Help Center
  • Tickets: Syncs Support Tickets with their comments and metadata

The connector supports incremental updates and maintains author information, content tags, and other metadata.

Content Types

Articles

  • Syncs all published articles from Zendesk Help Center
  • Includes article content, labels, and content tags
  • Tracks author information and update timestamps
  • Skips draft articles and articles with specific skip labels (configurable)

Tickets

  • Syncs support tickets with full comment threads
  • Includes ticket metadata (status, priority, tags, type)
  • Tracks submitter and commenter information
  • Excludes deleted tickets
  • Note: Requires active Zendesk Support Product

Current Limitations

  • Articles: Does not allow filtering by specific categories or sections
  • Tickets: Requires Zendesk Support Product to be active

Setting up

Authorization

The Zendesk Connector requires 3 things to connect:

  • Subdomain: Your Zendesk subdomain (e.g., your-company from your-company.zendesk.com)
  • Email: Email address of the API token owner
  • API Token: Zendesk API token for authentication
