Create an organization

Creates a new organization in the Organizations table. This example demonstrates specifying organization details such as name, external ID, and custom fields.

Standard SQL query example

This is the base query accepted by the connector. To execute it in SQL Server, you have to pass it to the Data Gateway via a Linked Server. See how to accomplish this using the examples below.

INSERT INTO Organizations
(
	 name
	,external_id
	,group_id 
	,tags
	,details
	,notes
	,organization_fields
	,domain_names
	,shared_tickets
	,shared_comments
)
VALUES(
	'Abc Inc'
	,'zcrm_1558554000052161270'  --external_id
	,114094762733  
	,'["paid","trial","solved"]' 
	,'some details'
	,'some notes'
	,'{"startdate": "1981-01-23", "revenue": 12000000.50, "somenumber": 1235678}'
	,'["aaa.com", "bbb.com"]'
	,'false'
	,'false'
)

Using OPENQUERY in SQL Server

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([LS_TO_ZENDESK_IN_GATEWAY], 'INSERT INTO Organizations
(
	 name
	,external_id
	,group_id 
	,tags
	,details
	,notes
	,organization_fields
	,domain_names
	,shared_tickets
	,shared_comments
)
VALUES(
	''Abc Inc''
	,''zcrm_1558554000052161270''  --external_id
	,114094762733  
	,''["paid","trial","solved"]'' 
	,''some details''
	,''some notes''
	,''{"startdate": "1981-01-23", "revenue": 12000000.50, "somenumber": 1235678}''
	,''["aaa.com", "bbb.com"]''
	,''false''
	,''false''
)')

Using EXEC in SQL Server (handling larger SQL text)

The major drawback of OPENQUERY is its inability to incorporate variables within SQL statements. This often leads to the use of cumbersome dynamic SQL (with numerous ticks and escape characters).

Fortunately, starting with SQL 2005 and onwards, you can utilize the EXEC (your_sql) AT [LS_TO_ZENDESK_IN_GATEWAY] syntax.

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'INSERT INTO Organizations
(
	 name
	,external_id
	,group_id 
	,tags
	,details
	,notes
	,organization_fields
	,domain_names
	,shared_tickets
	,shared_comments
)
VALUES(
	''Abc Inc''
	,''zcrm_1558554000052161270''  --external_id
	,114094762733  
	,''["paid","trial","solved"]'' 
	,''some details''
	,''some notes''
	,''{"startdate": "1981-01-23", "revenue": 12000000.50, "somenumber": 1235678}''
	,''["aaa.com", "bbb.com"]''
	,''false''
	,''false''
)'
