Zendesk

The Zendesk connector enables easy and secure data synchronization between your application and your customers’ Zendesk accounts through unified data models.

Authorization

The Zendesk connector uses OAuth for secure authentication. When creating a connection, the required OAuth scopes are automatically configured based on your specific operations needs (e.g. genericContact::create, genericUser::list).
