Zendesk Integration Services

Build and run an integration

What is Zendesk Integration Services (ZIS)?

ZIS is a set of Zendesk-hosted web services that let you integrate Zendesk with other systems and applications. ZIS powers Conversational Data Orchestration, a feature set for automating workflows based on events.

ZIS reduces or eliminates the need to build and host middleware for integration features such as:

  • Ingesting webhooks from an external system
  • Executing business logic in response to events
  • Making API calls into Zendesk and the external system
  • Obtaining and managing authentication tokens
  • Storing configuration settings
  • Storing metadata about related objects in Zendesk and the external system

ZIS simplifies the process to build and run private integrations.
