Job Specs

A job spec defines which ZIS flow should run when a trigger event occurs. It contains an event source and type, and a reference to the flow to run when the event occurs.

A job spec is scoped to a ZIS integration and its related account.

For more information about job specs, see Understanding Zendesk Integration Services.

JSON format

JobSpecs are represented as JSON objects with the following properties:

Name	Type	Read-only	Mandatory	Description
job_specs	array	false	false
meta	object	false	false

Install Job Spec

• POST /api/services/zis/registry/job_specs/install?job_spec_name={job_spec_name}

Installs a job spec for a ZIS integration.

Authentication

You can authorize requests using basic authentication, an API token, or a ZIS OAuth access token. A Zendesk app can also authorize requests to this endpoint using an admin's browser session. See Making API requests from a Zendesk app.

Allowed for

• Admins

Parameters
