Practical ways you can use Smartsheet and Zendesk
Log ticket updates in Smartsheet
Zapier updates a Smartsheet whenever any customer support ticket in Zendesk is modified. This provides a consolidated spreadsheet for analyzing trends and keeping business analytics in one space, while saving time from manual updates.
When a new ticket is created or updated in Zendesk, Zapier automatically updates or adds a row in Smartsheet with the ticket information. This keeps your IT tracking spreadsheet always current, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
When a new Zendesk support ticket is created, Zapier adds a detailed row to Smartsheet. This bridges project management and support tracking, making sure every ticket is prioritized and assigned for resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions about Smartsheet + Zendesk integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Smartsheet and Zendesk
Can I automate ticket creation in Zendesk from Smartsheet rows?
Yes, you can automate the creation of tickets in Zendesk when new rows are added to a Smartsheet sheet. Simply set up a trigger in Smartsheet for new rows, which will then prompt an action in Zendesk to create a ticket with specified details from the row.
How can we update a Smartsheet when a Zendesk ticket status changes?
To update a Smartsheet based on changes in Zendesk ticket status, set up a trigger in Zendesk for status changes, and configure an action to update the corresponding row or cell in your Smartsheet with the new status information.
Is it possible to sync comments between Smartsheet and Zendesk?
Currently, syncing comments directly between Smartsheet and Zendesk isn't supported as a direct action. However, you may be able to customize integrations through additional middleware or API solutions.
Can I create automated reminders in Smartsheet for my Zendesk tickets?
You can create automated reminders by using triggers from specific updates or deadlines set within your Smartsheet connected to ticket deadlines or updates in Zendesk. This involves configuring actions that alert you based on date/time field configurations.
What happens if there is an error during an integration process between Smartsheet and Zendesk?
If errors occur during integration processes, error notifications and logs are available so you can troubleshoot the specific issue within our platform settings. Always ensure both apps’ credentials are up-to-date and permissions are correctly configured.
How do we handle data mapping between fields in Smartsheet and custom fields in Zendesk?
Data mapping between fields is managed by setting specific field actions within our integration setup. You’ll need to define which fields from your Smartsheets correspond with custom fields in your Zendesk tickets so data transfers correctly.
Is real-time data synchronization supported between these two platforms?
Real-time data synchronization might not always be possible due to API call limitations; however, triggers can be set for near real-time updates between actions if configured properly within each tool's settings.
