Zendesk Chat connector details
The Zendesk Chat connector captures data from the Zendesk Chat API into Estuary Flow collections, giving teams real-time visibility into live chat activity, agent performance, and customer engagement.
- Extensive coverage: Captures chats, agents, departments, triggers, shortcuts, goals, skills, and other Zendesk Chat resources.
- Real-time ingestion: Streams chat and agent data as it becomes available for near-live monitoring and analytics.
- Efficient structure: Each Zendesk resource is mapped to a separate Flow collection, making it easy to organize and query data.
- Simple configuration: Requires only your Zendesk subdomain, access token, and a start date to begin capturing data.
- Secure access: Supports restricted, read-only access tokens for controlled data visibility.
- Optimized performance: Built on an enhanced version of the open-source connector for improved reliability and speed.
💡 Tip: Use a dedicated read-only API token for Estuary to ensure secure and isolated access to your Zendesk Chat data.
