Practical ways you can use Salesforce and Zendesk
Sync new Zendesk tickets with Salesforce cases
When a new support ticket is created in Zendesk, Zapier automatically creates a corresponding case in Salesforce. This automation provides customer support teams with consolidated records, enabling better issue tracking and ensuring every customer concern is addressed efficiently.
Create Zendesk tickets for updated Salesforce records
When records (such as contacts or opportunities) are updated in Salesforce, Zapier automatically creates or updates Zendesk tickets. This ensures IT teams stay informed on Salesforce changes that require troubleshooting or further action, reducing the risk of missed updates and improving alignment between systems.
When a ticket in Zendesk is updated, Zapier updates a related record in Salesforce. This keeps the sales team informed about support interactions, improving the customer experience and alignment between sales and support teams.

To integrate Salesforce with Zendesk, you can use tools like Zapier to create Zaps that trigger specific actions in one platform based on triggers in the other. This requires setting up an integration that uses authentication keys and custom configurations within both Salesforce and Zendesk.

When integrating Salesforce with Zendesk, you can trigger actions such as creating or updating a ticket in Zendesk whenever a new contact is added or updated in Salesforce. Our integrations allow for customizable workflows that suit your specific needs.
Is it possible to update a Zendesk ticket when there is a change in a Salesforce record?
Yes, using our integration tools, you can set up a Zap where any update on a Salesforce record, such as Accounts or Contacts, triggers an automatic update on a linked Zendesk ticket.
Can we use custom fields from Salesforce in our Zendesk tickets when integrated?
Custom fields from Salesforce can indeed be mapped and used in your Zendesk tickets. This involves setting up the appropriate field mapping within the integration tool settings, allowing the data from specific fields in Salesforce to populate corresponding fields in Zendesk.
