Zendesk Connector Details
Zendesk is customer service and support ticket software that allows you connect with customers on any channel. With Zendesk, you can offer excellent customer service for 24/7 support to, provide delightful experiences and generate more revenue. With Help Center, you can build a knowledge base, community, and customer portal that fits in seamlessly with your brand in a matter of minutes.
Zendesk integrations consist of two important components, Triggers and Actions. Triggers are used when Zendesk is your “Source” application and you want to sync-up data from Zendesk to your target system.
Actions are used when Zendesk is your “Target” application and you want to sync-up data from another business system into this application.

Triggers
Setting up of triggers allows you to sync-up Zendesk data objects with any application. When any event in Zendesk occurs such as creation of a new Support Ticket, updating of a Forum Post or creating a new User Subscription then the Trigger would automatically kick-off the related connection to sync-up this data with your target application.
User simply selects the Trigger from a drop-down list as shown in the image.
Some of the most common triggers are described here:
- New Group
- Triggers when a Group is added or updated. Once you add an organization or a company, you can create various groups for the organization. For example, if you are managing technical support for Shark Industries (organization), you can create various groups — one each for HR, Finance and Development.
- New Organization
- Triggers when an Organization is added or updated
- New Ticket
- Triggers when Ticket is added or updated
- New User
- Triggers when a User is added or updated
Actions
An Action specifies how the data will be transferred at the destination location. While configuring Zendesk as a target, you can select an Action from the list. Below is a snapshot of the drop-down menu that lists all the Actions.
