The following are the requirements and connection instructions for using Zendesk with Amazon AppFlow.

Note

You can use Zendesk as a source or a destination.

Requirements

To use Amazon AppFlow, you need to register the application to generate OAuth credentials that your application can use to authenticate API calls to Zendesk. This is done in Zendesk Support.
In Zendesk, you must create an OAuth client with the following settings:
- Unique identifier: aws_integration_to_Zendesk
- Redirect URL: https://console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/oauth (us-east-1) or https://region.console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/oauth (all other Regions)

For more information, see Setting up the Amazon AppFlow integration with Zendesk in the Zendesk documentation.

Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon AppFlow console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/.
Choose Create flow.

(Optional) To use a customer managed CMK instead of the default AWS managed CMK, choose Data encryption, Customize encryption settings and then choose an existing CMK or create a new one.

Notes

When you use Zendesk as a source, you can run schedule-triggered flows at a maximum frequency of one flow run per minute.
When you use Zendesk as a destination, the following additional settings are available:

Setting name	Description
Insert new records	This is the default data transfer option. When you choose this setting, Amazon AppFlow inserts your source data into the chosen Zendesk object as a new record.
Update existing records	When you choose this setting, Amazon AppFlow uses your source data to update existing records in Zendesk. For every source record, Amazon AppFlow looks for a matching record in Zendesk based on your criteria. You can specify matching criteria on the Map data fields page. To do so, select a field in the source application and map it to a Zendesk record ID or external field using the dropdown list. When a matching record is found, Amazon AppFlow updates the record in Zendesk. If no matching record is found, Amazon AppFlow ignores the record or fails the flow per your chosen error handling option. You can specify your error handling preferences on the Configure flow page.
Upsert records	When you choose this setting, Amazon AppFlow performs an upsert operation in Zendesk. For every source record, Amazon AppFlow looks for a matching record in Zendesk based on your criteria. You can specify matching criteria on the Map data fields page. To do so, select a field in the source application and map it to a Zendesk external field using the dropdown list. When a matching record is found, Amazon AppFlow updates the record in Zendesk. If no matching record is found, Amazon AppFlow inserts the data as a new record. Any errors in performing the operation are handled per your chosen error handling option. You can specify your error handling preferences on the Configure flow page.
