Why teams connect Apache Druid and Zendesk

Get the data locked inside Zendesk into Apache Druid as live tables, and send results back where Zendesk can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Zendesk is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Tickets Comments, Users, Organizations, Attachments from Zendesk into tables in Apache Druid continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Apache Druid can also be written back into fields in Zendesk where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • Sync tickets, users, and organizations into Postgres so support analytics run on SQL instead of repeated API pulls.
  • Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data onto Zendesk organizations and ticket fields so agents see context in the ticket.
  • Query aggregated event metrics from Druid and sync them into CRM account fields for usage-based selling.
  • Feed operational records into Druid via batch ingestion so analysts get interactive slice-and-dice on fresh data.

Where Zendesk accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Apache Druid sync back onto records in Zendesk, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Apache Druid preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Zendesk or gets changed inside it.

Analytics on Zendesk's data

Records and events from Zendesk land in Apache Druid as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

What you can sync between Apache Druid and Zendesk

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Apache Druid objects Zendesk objects
Ingestion Supervisors Long-running specs that pull from streams like Kafka; the write path into Druid. Attachments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Lookups Key-value mappings joined at query time, refreshable from external systems. Ticket Forms Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Tasks Batch ingestion and compaction jobs monitored during data loads. Tickets The central work object; synced to databases for SLA and volume reporting or mirrored into engineering tools.
Datasources The table-like unit of storage and querying, the main target of reads and ingestion. Tickets Comments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Segments Time-partitioned immutable files that hold datasource data; ingestion produces them. Users End users and agents; matched to CRM contacts to keep requester data consistent.
Dimensions String and categorical columns used for filtering and grouping in synced queries. Organizations Company groupings for users; typically kept aligned with CRM accounts.

How the Apache Druid and Zendesk connectors work

Apache Druid

Integration surface
REST API (SQL over HTTP and native JSON queries); JDBC via Avatica
Authentication
Deployment-dependent: basic authentication or an authenticator extension; often fronted by a proxy
Change detection
Not applicable for reads out (polling by time interval); data enters Druid through streaming or batch ingestion rather than row updates
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No fixed API quotas; query concurrency is bounded by broker and historical node capacity

Zendesk

Integration surface
REST API
Authentication
OAuth app authorization: enter your Zendesk subdomain (from {sub_domain_name}.zendesk.com) in Stacksync Connections and click "Authorize App"
Change detection
Incremental export endpoints with cursor-based pagination, plus webhooks fired by triggers
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Request limits vary by plan; incremental export endpoints have their own allowances.
