The problem

Sales owns the account in Salesforce while support tracks issues in Zendesk. Without a link between them, account teams don’t see open tickets and support agents lack account context.

The solution

ZigiOps links each Zendesk ticket to its Salesforce case and keeps status, priority and account context synchronized in real time — no scripts, no manual updates.

Beyond the basics

More control over how Salesforce ↔ Zendesk Support syncs

Real-time, continuous sync

Updates flow the moment they happen — no polling delays, no scheduled batch jobs.

Conditional triggers

Scope every sync with filters on account, priority, ticket type or any custom field.

Conflict resolution & audit trail

Built-in logic decides which update wins and logs every decision for full traceability.

Automatic recovery

Sync resumes on its own after downtime or network interruptions — nothing to restart by hand.

Safe test mode

Validate field mappings and rules against real data before the integration goes live.

Sync health monitoring

See sync status and catch failures early, without digging through logs.

AI-assisted troubleshooting

When a sync fails, ZigiOps surfaces the likely cause and a suggested fix — no log-diving required.

Real use case

One customer record, sales and support aligned

A customer reports a problem to support in Zendesk while their account team works from Salesforce. ZigiOps keeps both records telling the same story.

STEP 1
Ticket opened in Zendesk

Support logs a ticket with priority and the requester's contact details.

STEP 2
ZigiOps creates a linked case

A mapped Salesforce case appears instantly, linked to the ticket and the customer's account.

STEP 3
Account team follows in Salesforce

Status and comments sync back to the Zendesk ticket, so support always sees account context.

RESOLVED
One consistent customer story

The ticket closes in step with the case — no conflicting answers to the customer.

Salesforce ↔ Zendesk Support FAQ

Is the Salesforce–Zendesk Support sync bidirectional?

Yes. Cases and tickets stay aligned in both directions in real time, with conflict-resolution logic keeping both systems authoritative.

What fields map between the two?

Case ↔ ticket, status, priority, and requester ↔ contact — all in both directions with full fidelity.

Do I need Apex or Zendesk apps?

No. The entire integration is configured no-code in ZigiOps — no Apex triggers and no custom Zendesk apps to build or maintain.

Can account teams see ticket history without leaving Salesforce?

Yes. Ticket status and comments sync directly into the linked Salesforce case, so account teams see full support history in place.

Can I connect multiple Zendesk or Salesforce instances?

Yes. ZigiOps supports unlimited connections, so one Salesforce org can sync with several Zendesk accounts — or the reverse.

Can I limit the sync to specific accounts or ticket types?

Yes. Conditional triggers let you scope the sync by account, priority or ticket type, so only the records that matter cross over.
