Zendesk
Create support tickets in Zendesk (email + API token).
OCNORA ships 4 typed Zendesk operations and 1 trigger. Each node has a schema-driven form, input and output tables beside its settings, and is pre-flighted by Workflow Health before your first real run. Endpoints not covered by a typed node are called at https://{subdomain}.zendesk.com/api/v2 through the HTTP node with the same credential.
Before you connect Zendesk
- Authentication
- Username & password
- Credential
- {"email": "…", "api_token": "…"}{"email", "api_token"}
- Connection test
- Available: the stored credential can be checked against the provider when you add it. This is not a record that a test was run or passed.
- Prerequisites
- Creating a webhook and revealing its signing secret are both admin-only in Zendesk: an agent token registers nothing. Publishing also needs MANTLE_APP_PUBLIC_BASE_URL set to an https URL Zendesk can reach.
Prerequisites are taken from the connection notes in this provider’s node contracts; each node’s reference page says which apply to it.
What you can do with Zendesk

An outline built from this provider’s node contracts, not a recorded run. Each step’s output fields are available to the next in the field picker.
Every node below has a reference page: what it does, the connection it needs, its config fields with types, constraints and examples, and the shapes it emits.

Where Zendesk fits
Zendesk questions
- How does OCNORA authenticate with Zendesk?
- With a stored Username & password credential, shaped {"email": "…", "api_token": "…"} or {"email", "api_token"}. A connection test can check it when you add it.
- What can I automate with Zendesk?
- 4 typed operations and 1 trigger, each with a reference page listing its config fields and the shapes it emits.
- What if the Zendesk operation I need is not listed?
- Call https://{subdomain}.zendesk.com/api/v2 from the HTTP node with the same credential, or describe the step to the AI builder, which asks our team for a typed node when one is missing.
- Are there templates that use Zendesk?
- Not yet. Start from a blank workflow, or describe the workflow to Build with AI.
- How are Zendesk calls controlled?
- Every call and every run step is audited, runs count against the execution budget, and Workflow Health pre-flights the workflow when you save it.
