1.Catch Hook from ticket webhook
Integrate Webhooks by Zapier to detect incoming ticket webhook payloads and route them into parsing for replies.
Update ticket with knowledge base article reply and tags
Automatically catch ticket webhook events across Webhooks by Zapier, Formatter by Zapier, Zendesk, and Code by Zapier. Get enriched help center context when ticket webhooks arrive, format replies when article references are present, and update tickets when tags and fields mapβso you can avoid manual triage, formatting, and admin work.
How this automation updates ticket context
When ticket webhook comments land without ready knowledge context, triage slows and replies get inconsistent. This automation parses article references, fetches help center content, and updates Zendesk ticketsβso your team can respond accurately without manual copy and paste.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
