Why teams connect IBM Db2 and Zendesk

Mirror Zendesk's data into IBM Db2 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 IBM Db2.

Stacksync mirrors Tickets Comments, Users, Organizations, Attachments from Zendesk into Indexes, Stored Procedures, Sequences, Tablespaces in IBM Db2 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

  • 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.
  • Sync SaaS data into Db2 tables that existing enterprise applications and reports already consume.
  • Replicate Db2 tables into a cloud warehouse continuously instead of nightly batch extracts.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Zendesk arrive as row changes in IBM Db2, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Zendesk with a query

Records from Zendesk are ordinary rows in IBM Db2; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between IBM Db2 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.

IBM Db2 objects Zendesk objects
Tablespaces Physical storage layout that operators consider when adding synced tables. Ticket Forms Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses. Tickets The central work object; synced to databases for SLA and volume reporting or mirrored into engineering tools.
Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects. Tickets Comments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases. Users End users and agents; matched to CRM contacts to keep requester data consistent.
Views Read-only projections often used to expose curated slices to a sync. Organizations Company groupings for users; typically kept aligned with CRM accounts.
Indexes Support fast key lookups on sync match columns. Attachments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
