  8. Select your authentication scenario below to expand connection configuration steps to:

    • Configure the authentication in Zendesk.
    • Enter those details into the API Connection Manager configuration.
    OAuth - Client Credentials (Server-to-Server)

    Zendesk authentication

    Recommended for unattended server-to-server automation. No interactive user login or refresh token is required. The OAuth client must be configured as a Confidential client in Zendesk. [API reference]

    Use OAuth - Client Credentials (Server-to-Server) for unattended applications such as ETL packages, scheduled jobs, services, data pipelines, and other server-side integrations.

    Recommended for unattended automation: This authentication method does not require an interactive user login and does not use a refresh token. When the access token expires, ZappySys automatically requests a new access token using the same Client ID and Client Secret.
    1. Sign in to Zendesk as an administrator.
    2. Go to Admin Center > Apps and integrations > APIs > Zendesk API.
    3. Open the OAuth Clients section and create an OAuth client.
    4. Configure the OAuth client as a Confidential client.
    5. Enter a unique Client ID.
    6. Copy the generated Client Secret and store it securely.
    7. Configure the permissions/scopes required by your integration.
    8. In the ZappySys connection, enter your Zendesk Sub Domain, Client ID, Client Secret, and desired Permissions.
    9. Click Test Connection.
    Security: Client Credentials should only be used in trusted server-side environments where the Client Secret can be stored securely. Do not expose the Client Secret in browser-side or client-side applications.
    The access token is associated with the Zendesk user linked to the OAuth client and inherits that user's permissions. For automated integrations, consider using a dedicated Zendesk service account with only the permissions required by the integration.

    No Redirect URL, browser login, authorization code, or refresh token is required for this authentication method.

    API Connection Manager configuration

    Just perform these simple steps to finish authentication configuration:

    1. Set Authentication Type to OAuth - Client Credentials (Server-to-Server) [OAuth]
    2. Optional step. Modify API Base URL if needed (in most cases default will work).
    3. Fill in all the required parameters and set optional parameters if needed.
    4. Finally, hit OK button:
    Zendesk
    OAuth - Client Credentials (Server-to-Server) [OAuth]

    OAuth - User Login (Interactive)

    Zendesk authentication

    Authenticate through an interactive Zendesk login. Create an OAuth client in Zendesk Admin Center under Apps and integrations > APIs > Zendesk API > OAuth Clients. [API reference]

    Use OAuth - User Login (Interactive) when the integration should access Zendesk on behalf of a specific user.

    During initial setup, a browser window opens and the user signs in to Zendesk and authorizes the application. No Zendesk password is stored in the connection.

    1. Sign in to Zendesk as an administrator.
    2. Go to Admin Center > Apps and integrations > APIs > Zendesk API.
    3. Open the OAuth Clients section and create an OAuth client.
    4. Enter a unique Client ID.
    5. Copy the generated Client Secret and store it securely.
    6. Configure the following Redirect URL for the OAuth client:
      https://zappysys.com/oauth
    7. In the ZappySys connection, enter your Zendesk Sub Domain, Client ID, Client Secret, and desired Permissions.
    8. Start the authorization process and sign in to Zendesk when the browser opens.
    9. Approve access when prompted.
    10. Click Test Connection.
    Token renewal: Zendesk access tokens expire. ZappySys uses the OAuth refresh token to obtain new access tokens without requiring the user to sign in again. The latest refresh token must be stored securely because Zendesk rotates refresh tokens during renewal.
    If the refresh token expires, is revoked, or cannot be restored from the saved connection, the interactive Zendesk login process must be performed again.

    For unattended server-side integrations where you do not want to maintain a refresh token, consider OAuth - Client Credentials (Server-to-Server).

    API Connection Manager configuration

    Just perform these simple steps to finish authentication configuration:

    1. Set Authentication Type to OAuth - User Login (Interactive) [OAuth]
    2. Optional step. Modify API Base URL if needed (in most cases default will work).
    3. Fill in all the required parameters and set optional parameters if needed.
    4. Press Generate Token button to generate the tokens.

    Token Authentication (Legacy)

    Zendesk authentication

    Authenticate using Static Token instead of userid / password ([Token Access] option must be enabled under Admin Console > Channel > API > Settings and then Click [ADD API Token] to generate new token. These settings typically found here https://YOUR-SUB-DOMAIN.zendesk.com/agent/admin/api/settings [API reference]

    Use API Token authentication to authenticate with your Zendesk user email and a Zendesk API token instead of your password.

    Deprecated by Zendesk: Zendesk is removing API token authentication. Existing API tokens are scheduled to stop working on April 30, 2027. For new integrations, use OAuth instead.
    1. Sign in to Zendesk as an administrator.
    2. Go to Admin Center > Apps and integrations > APIs > Zendesk API.
    3. Make sure Token access is enabled.
    4. Create or select an existing API token.

    Execute Package

Load Zendesk data into SQL Server using Upsert Destination (Insert or Update)

Once you configured the data source, you can load Zendesk data into SQL Server using Upsert Destination.

Upsert Destination can merge or synchronize source data with the target table. It supports Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Redshift databases as targets. Upsert Destination also supports very fast bulk upsert operation along with bulk delete.

Upsert operation - a database operation which performs INSERT or UPDATE SQL commands based on record's existence condition in the target table. It inserts records that don't have matching records in the target table or updates them, if they do, by matching them by key columns.

Upsert Destination supports INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations, so it is similar to SQL Server's MERGE command, except it can be used directly in SSIS package.

  1. From the SSIS Toolbox drag-and-drop Upsert Destination component onto the Data Flow designer background.

  2. Connect your SSIS source component to Upsert Destination.

  3. Double-click on Upsert Destination component to open configuration window.

  4. Start by selecting the Action from the list.

  5. Next, select the desired target connection or create one by clicking <New [provider] Connection> menu item from the Target Connection dropdown.

  6. Then select a table from the Target Table list or click New button to create a new table based on the source columns.

  7. Continue by checking Insert and Update options according to your scenario (e.g. if Update option is unchecked, no updates will be made).

  8. Finally, click Map All button to map all columns and then select the Key columns to match the columns on:

    Configure SSIS Upsert Destination component to merge data with SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Redshift table

  9. Click OK to save the configuration.

  10. Run the package and Zendesk data will be merged with the target table in SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Redshift:

    Execute Package - Reading data from API Source and load into target

  11. Done!

Deploy and schedule SSIS package

After you are done creating SSIS package, most likely, you want to deploy it to SQL Server Catalog and run it periodically. Just follow the instructions in this article:
