Why teams connect Google Cloud SQL and Zendesk

Mirror Zendesk's data into Google Cloud SQL 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 Google Cloud SQL.

Stacksync mirrors Users, Organizations, Attachments, Ticket Forms from Zendesk into Transaction logs, Instances, Databases, Schemas in Google Cloud SQL 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

  • 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.
  • Migrate from a self-managed database by syncing Cloud SQL and the legacy system during cutover.
  • Keep an internal admin application backed by Cloud SQL consistent with an ERP or billing system.

Read Zendesk with a query

Records from Zendesk are ordinary rows in Google Cloud SQL; 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 Google Cloud SQL 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 Google Cloud SQL, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Google Cloud SQL 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 SQL objects Zendesk objects
Views Read-only sources for shaping data before syncing it out. Attachments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Transaction logs MySQL binlog or PostgreSQL WAL, the source for log-based change capture. Ticket Forms Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Instances The managed MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server server a sync connects to. Tickets The central work object; synced to databases for SLA and volume reporting or mirrored into engineering tools.
Databases Scope the tables included in a sync configuration. Tickets Comments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Schemas Namespace tables in PostgreSQL and SQL Server instances. Users End users and agents; matched to CRM contacts to keep requester data consistent.
Tables Mapped directly to sync targets; schema changes can be propagated. Organizations Company groupings for users; typically kept aligned with CRM accounts.
