Examples

SSIS

Use Zendesk Connector in API Source or in API Destination SSIS Data Flow components to read or write data.

API Destination

This Endpoint belongs to the Tickets (Bulk) table, therefore it is better to use it, instead of accessing the endpoint directly. Use this table and table-operation pair to create tickets:

API Destination - Zendesk
Read and write Zendesk data effortlessly. Manage tickets, users, and organizations — almost no coding required.
Zendesk
Tickets (Bulk)
Insert
There are no parameters to configure.
SSIS API Destination - Access table operation

ODBC application

Use these SQL queries in your ODBC application data source:

Bulk create tickets using raw JSON

<p>Creates multiple tickets by supplying a JSON array of ticket objects. This example demonstrates using the <code>_rawdoc_</code> column with the <code>Tickets_Bulk</code> table to insert multiple tickets at once.</p> 

INSERT INTO Tickets_Bulk(_rawdoc_) 
VALUES(
  '[
    {
      "subject": "Test ticket #1",    
      "comment": {
        "body": "Test ticket #1"
      },
      "priority": "urgent"
    },
    {
      "subject": "Test ticket #2",    
      "comment": {
        "body": "This is a comment for #2"
      },
      "priority": "normal"
    }
  ]'
)

post_tickets endpoint belongs to Tickets_Bulk table(s), and can therefore be used via those table(s).

SQL Server

Use these SQL queries in SQL Server after you create a data source in Data Gateway:

Bulk create tickets using raw JSON

<p>Creates multiple tickets by supplying a JSON array of ticket objects. This example demonstrates using the <code>_rawdoc_</code> column with the <code>Tickets_Bulk</code> table to insert multiple tickets at once.</p> 

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'INSERT INTO Tickets_Bulk(_rawdoc_) 
VALUES(
  ''[
    {
      "subject": "Test ticket #1",    
      "comment": {
        "body": "Test ticket #1"
      },
      "priority": "urgent"
    },
    {
      "subject": "Test ticket #2",    
      "comment": {
        "body": "This is a comment for #2"
      },
      "priority": "normal"
    }
  ]''
)';

EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_ZENDESK_IN_GATEWAY];

post_tickets endpoint belongs to Tickets_Bulk table(s), and can therefore be used via those table(s).
