Why teams connect Rillet and Zendesk

Connect the financial records in Rillet with the work happening in Zendesk, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.

Rillet holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Zendesk is where part of the day-to-day work happens, and that work often involves the same customers and transactions. Without a live connection, the two drift apart, and people end up answering questions from stale copies.

Stacksync keeps Vendor, Invoice, Credit Memo, Bill in Rillet and Attachments, Ticket Forms, Tickets, Tickets Comments in Zendesk in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Zendesk keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Rillet is mapped field by field, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds.

There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

Common use cases

  • Mirror journal entries and contract revenue data into a warehouse for board and ARR reporting.
  • Push billing events from a product or usage-metering system into Rillet for revenue recognition.
  • 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.

Where Zendesk is a docs or knowledge workspace: reference data kept fresh

Figures teams rely on, like customer status or outstanding balances, stay current wherever Zendesk surfaces them instead of going stale after a one-time paste.

Where Zendesk handles customer conversations: billing context in view

Front-line teams see invoice and payment status from Rillet next to the customer they are helping, without logging into the finance system.

Where Zendesk collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Rillet

Payment and charge activity flows into Rillet as it happens, so the books reflect reality without manual reconciliation.
