Zendesk
Manage Zendesk tickets, users, and support workflows through the authenticated Zendesk API.
When to Use
- search tickets or support history
- create or update tickets
- inspect user details
- export queue data for analysis
- summarize current support state
Setup
Use these environment variables:
ZENDESK_SUBDOMAINZENDESK_EMAILZENDESK_TOKEN
Build the Zendesk auth context from those variables and confirm access before trying ticket operations.
Workflow Rules
- Search before creating a ticket to avoid duplicates.
- Use views or targeted search instead of listing entire queues.
- Add internal notes when changing status or ownership.
- Confirm destructive or customer-visible actions before sending them.
- Respect Zendesk rate limits during bulk work.
Common Operations
- Search tickets by status, priority, assignee, or subject before creating a new one.
- Create tickets with a clear subject, customer-visible comment, and correct priority.
- Update status with an internal note that explains what changed and why.
- Look up users by email before editing ownership, organization, or requester fields.
- Export queue data only when the user explicitly asked for a saved report.
Safety Boundaries
- Do not read credentials from ad hoc files, memory stores, or chat history; use only the documented environment variables.
- Do not close, merge, delete, or publicly reply to tickets without explicit confirmation.
- Do not export ticket or user data to files unless the user asked for a saved artifact.
- Do not send Zendesk data to any service other than the authenticated Zendesk API.
