API configuration: zendesk

Zendesk has two kinds of OAuth apps:

  • Helpdesk/support apps
  • CRM apps

Nango currently only supports OAuth for the Helpdesk apps. If you need CRM, reach out or contribute it :)

Connection configuration in Nango

Zendesk requires a user specific subdomain to run OAuth.

You should request this from the user and pass it to Nango in the nango.auth() call:

nango.auth('zendesk', '<CONNECTION-ID>', {params: {subdomain: '<zendesk-subdomain>'}});

For more details, see the docs here.

​
API gotchas

  • Make sure to create a Zendesk OAuth app (https://<USER-SUBDOMAIN>.zendesk.com/admin/apps-integrations/apis/zendesk-api/settings), not a Zendesk Sales CRM OAuth app.
  • Zendesk oAuth apps must be made “global” to connect to multiple <USER-SUBDOMAIN>s.
