What is the Zendesk node?

Node in Stack AI

The Zendesk node enables seamless integration with your Zendesk account, specifically for automating the creation of tickets.

A common use-case is using this node to hand off the customer support to a real human over at Zendesk.

Configuration

The Zendesk node requires you to set up the following:

  • User Email (Input) : the recepient of the email.
  • Subject (Input) : the subject of the email.
  • Contents (Input) : the contents of the email.
  • Zendesk Domain (Config) : the Zendesk domain of the sender.
  • Zendesk Email (Config) : the sender of the email.
  • Zendesk API Key (Config) : the API key of the sender’s Zendesk account.

The output is the created ticket’s URL in Zendesk (e.g. https:// your_domain.zendesk.com/tickets/28)
