Why teams connect Google Cloud Platform and Zendesk

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

Common use cases

  • Consolidate several Zendesk instances into one reporting database after a merger or brand split.
  • Sync tickets, users, and organizations into Postgres so support analytics run on SQL instead of repeated API pulls.
  • Publish change events to Pub/Sub so downstream services react to record updates as they happen.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Google Cloud Platform 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 Google Cloud Platform 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 Google Cloud Platform 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.

Google Cloud Platform objects Zendesk objects
Cloud Storage objects Staging area for file-based bulk loads into BigQuery and other services. Organizations Company groupings for users; typically kept aligned with CRM accounts.
Pub/Sub topics Event streams used to move change events between systems in near real time. Attachments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Firestore documents Document data read and written through the Firestore API for app-facing syncs. Ticket Forms Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Spanner tables Strongly consistent relational tables accessed via SQL for transactional workloads. Tickets The central work object; synced to databases for SLA and volume reporting or mirrored into engineering tools.
BigQuery datasets Namespaces that group tables; syncs target tables within a dataset. Tickets Comments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
BigQuery tables The primary analytics destination, written through load jobs or the Storage Write API and queried with SQL. Users End users and agents; matched to CRM contacts to keep requester data consistent.
