With this integration, it is possible to link Zendesk Support to your MailBlue account. This allows contacts (and their associated ticket information) to be synchronised with MailBlue when a ticket event occurs.

Please note: it involves a 'oneway-sync' from Zendesk Support to MailBlue.

After setting up the integration, the ticket data and the ticket requester will be synchronised with MailBlue. The synchronisation takes place when a new ticket is created or updated.

In addition, you will see two new Zendesk Support-related start triggers. Finally, you can also personalise automation emails with all ticket information.

When the data from Zendesk is synchronised, a contact profile of the ticket requester will be created in the MailBlue account (provided this contact profile does not already exist in your account, of course).

The contact profile contains a Zendesk Ticket object. This object will display all tickets for this contact from that moment on. Each ticket in this object has the fields:

Please note: the information displayed in these fields is for informational purposes only. It is not possible to edit these fields in the MailBlue account.

When contacts are synchronised from Zendesk Support to the MailBlue account, the following tag will appear in the contact profile: Zendesk-support-integration

With this integration, you can use two optional start triggers in a MailBlue automation. You will find these two start triggers under 'Apps' in the menu with all possible start triggers:

There are some limitations to consider when using these two start triggers:

You can use the Zendesk ticket fields in an 'If/Else' step in an automation. It is not possible to use field data from the Zendesk ticket when using/making:

After the integration with Zendesk Support is made, you can use the fields of the custom ticket object to personalise an email in an automation. You can find these personalisation tags under the heading 'Personalise'.

Please note: the above fields are not available for use in one-on-one emails or standalone campaigns. These are fields that you can only use for your automation emails.
