Zendesk Survey Integration: Use Cases

 

Create/Update Contacts on Zendesk from Survey Responses

 

Choose the Zendesk Object and Action from the dropdown and map your survey responses to the corresponding Zendesk fields. Now when your survey is shared and starts getting responses, a new contact is created on Zendesk, in real-time.

Note: It’s mandatory to map at least one of your survey responses to the Name field of Zendesk.

To update an existing user, you’ll have to first add a custom variable under the Global Variables section, on your survey builder. Once done, come back to the Zendesk mapping page and choose the object and action. Choose the unique identifier type as variable, select the variable from the dropdown, and map the survey responses.

Note: The variable user_id should be passed along with the survey to update ticket entry on Zendesk.
