Why teams connect Dynamo DB and Zendesk
Mirror Zendesk's data into Dynamo DB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.
Engineers integrate with tools like Zendesk through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Dynamo DB.
Stacksync mirrors Organizations, Attachments, Ticket Forms, Tickets from Zendesk into Global Secondary Indexes, DynamoDB Streams, Global Tables, Tables in Dynamo DB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Zendesk, so the tool and the database never disagree.
Common use cases
- Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data onto Zendesk organizations and ticket fields so agents see context in the ticket.
- Keep Zendesk users and organizations aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
- Consolidate multi-region Global Tables data into a single reporting store.
- Replace ad-hoc export scripts with continuous sync driven by DynamoDB Streams.
Read Zendesk with a query
Records from Zendesk are ordinary rows in Dynamo DB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.
Automate Zendesk from your codebase
Write to the synced tables in Dynamo DB and Stacksync propagates the change into Zendesk, replacing custom integration code.
React to changes as they happen
Updates in Zendesk arrive as row changes in Dynamo DB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.
What you can sync between Dynamo DB 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.
| Dynamo DB objects | Zendesk objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs. | Users End users and agents; matched to CRM contacts to keep requester data consistent. | |
| Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. | Organizations Company groupings for users; typically kept aligned with CRM accounts. | |
| Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync. | Attachments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | |
| Global Secondary Indexes Alternate access paths used when sync queries filter on non-key attributes. | Ticket Forms Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | |
| DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync. | Tickets The central work object; synced to databases for SLA and volume reporting or mirrored into engineering tools. | |
| Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region. | Tickets Comments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. |

FAQ
Dynamo DB and Zendesk integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Dynamo DB and Zendesk: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Dynamo DB's Items and Attributes), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
On the Zendesk side: Organizations, Attachments, Ticket Forms, Tickets, plus custom fields where Zendesk exposes them. On the Dynamo DB side: Global Secondary Indexes, DynamoDB Streams, Global Tables, Tables. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
-
Common patterns for Dynamo DB and Zendesk: Read Zendesk with a query; Automate Zendesk from your codebase; React to changes as they happen. Records from Zendesk are ordinary rows in Dynamo DB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.
-
Dynamo DB: Proprietary JSON-over-HTTPS API accessed through AWS SDKs; PartiQL supported for SQL-like queries. Authentication: AWS IAM credentials with SigV4 request signing. Zendesk: REST API. Authentication: OAuth app authorization: enter your Zendesk subdomain (from {sub_domain_name}.zendesk.com) in Stacksync Connections and click "Authorize App". Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Zendesk: Docs do not state change-detection mechanism or read/write/CDC direction details. Dynamo DB: Items are schemaless apart from the mandatory partition key (and optional sort key), so sync field mappings are defined per attribute rather than from a fixed schema. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Dynamo DB and Zendesk without custom code.
