Prerequisites​

  • A Zendesk account on a plan that includes the Zendesk Talk add-on
  • Your Zendesk subdomain (for example, if your Zendesk URL is https://mycompany.zendesk.com, the subdomain is mycompany)
  • One of the following authentication methods:
    • API Token: A Zendesk API token and the email address associated with the token
    • OAuth 2.0: A Zendesk OAuth client with a client ID, client secret, and refresh token

Setup guide​

Step 1: Set up Zendesk​

Choose one of the following authentication methods:

API Token

Generate an API token in your Zendesk Admin Center under Apps and integrations > APIs > Zendesk API. For details, see Generating a new API token in the Zendesk documentation. We recommend creating a token specifically for Airbyte access.

OAuth 2.0

Register an OAuth client in your Zendesk Admin Center under Apps and integrations > APIs > OAuth Clients. For details, see Using OAuth authentication with your application in the Zendesk documentation. Zendesk uses rotating refresh tokens, so each token refresh returns a new refresh token and invalidates the previous one.

Step 2: Set up the Zendesk Talk connector in Airbyte​

For Airbyte Cloud:

  1. Log into your Airbyte Cloud account.
  2. In the left navigation bar, click Sources. In the top-right corner, click + New source.
  3. Select Zendesk Talk from the Source type dropdown.
  4. Enter your Subdomain.
  5. Choose your Authentication method (API Token or OAuth 2.0) and enter the required credentials.
  6. Set a Start Date for incremental streams. Data created or updated after this date is replicated.
  7. Click Set up source.

Supported sync modes​

The Zendesk Talk source connector supports the following sync modes:

  • Full Refresh
  • Incremental Sync

Supported streams​

This connector syncs the following streams:

Performance considerations​

The connector respects the Zendesk Talk API rate limits. The Talk API enforces the following limits in addition to the standard Zendesk Support API limits:

EndpointRate limit
All Talk API endpoints15,000 requests per 5 minutes
Current Queue Activity2,500 requests per 5 minutes
Incremental Exports (Calls, Call Legs)10 requests per minute

The connector automatically handles rate limiting by respecting 429 responses and the Retry-After header. Under normal usage, you should not encounter rate limit issues. If you do, create an issue.
