baton-zendesk

baton-zendesk is a connector for Zendesk built using the Baton SDK. It communicates with the Zendesk API to sync data about users, groups and enterprise.

Check out Baton to learn more about the project in general.

Getting Started

You can try out the Zendesk platform with a free, 14-day trial account. If you're interested in becoming a Zendesk developer partner, you can convert your trial account into a sponsored Zendesk Support account.

As part of becoming a Zendesk developer partner, Zendesk sponsors an instance for up to 5 agents that you can use for developing, and troubleshooting your app or integration.

Unlike a trial account, a sponsored account does not expire after 14 days.

Prerequisites

1. Zendesk trial account sign up for a free Zendesk Support trial developer site
2. Authentication method set to Token access
3. Application Scopes:

• manage team members
• manage groups
• manage organizations
• grant resources
• revoke resources

Requesting a sponsored test account

For a trial Support account, see https://developer.zendesk.com/documentation/api-basics/getting-started/getting-a-trial-or-sponsored-account-for-development/#requesting-a-sponsored-test-account
