Why teams connect Exasol and Zendesk

Get the data locked inside Zendesk into Exasol 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 Users, Organizations, Attachments, Ticket Forms from Zendesk into tables in Exasol continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Exasol can also be written back into fields in Zendesk where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • Mirror high-priority or escalated tickets into engineering trackers through the synced database.
  • Consolidate several Zendesk instances into one reporting database after a merger or brand split.
  • Load CRM and ERP records into Exasol tables on a schedule so analysts query fresh operational data.
  • Sync computed metrics or customer segments from Exasol back into a CRM for sales and marketing use (reverse ETL).

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Exasol 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 Exasol as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Zendesk's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

What you can sync between Exasol 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.

Exasol objects Zendesk objects
