I have one Zap working just fine. For each new Zendesk ticket assigned to my team, it creates a corresponding Github Issue in our repo, including the URL of the originating Zendesk ticket.

 

What I’m hoping for is a second Zap that can update the Zendesk ticket with the URL of the Github issue. 

My current Zap is triggered by a new GH issue (created by the first Zap), however I am stuck on how to get back to the originating Zendesk issue for the update.

Thanks in advance!

Why not just add a 3rd step to the Zap to update the value back into the Zendesk Ticket?

  1. Zendesk - New Ticket
  2. GitHub - Create Issue
  3. Zendesk - Update Ticket

Otherwise, try using the Zendesk URL, which probably has the Zendesk Ticket ID.


That makes sense. Where I’m getting stuck is on step 3, what value do I put in the required “Ticket” field so that it knows what ticket URL to update?


Generally apps rely on system generated IDs.

So there should be an ID from the trigger step that you can pipe thru to the Ticket field using a Custom mapping.

Sometimes underneath the field there is a description that explains the type of data point expected.


I used the Zendesk ticket ID value and it passed the test. I am just waiting for a proper ticket to come into the queue. 

I’ll post here if it works.


I had to make sure to use HTML URL, not URL But it’s working now.


Hey @Choltron glad to hear you were able to get things sorted here! To recap for anyone following this thread, the solution was to use a multi-step Zap with the following configuration:

  1. Zendesk - New Ticket
  2. GitHub - Create Issue
  3. Zendesk - Update Ticket

From there, insert the Zendesk ticket ID from Step 1 in the “Ticket” field of Step 3 to dynamically provide an update to the same ticket.
