Representative actions

  • Apply Zendesk Macro Preview

    Preview how a Zendesk macro would affect a ticket without actually applying it. Returns the ticket object as it would appear after the macro is applied, showing any changes to fields, comments, status, or other properties. Use this action to review macro changes before applying them to ensure the outcome is as expected.

  • Autocomplete Problems

    Autocomplete problems in Zendesk. Use when you need to find problem suggestions based on a partial search text for ticket categorization or troubleshooting.

  • Autocomplete Users

    Search for Zendesk users by name prefix using the POST /api/v2/users/autocomplete endpoint. Returns an array of users whose name starts with the provided query. Use when you need to find users by name prefix for quick user lookup and autocomplete functionality.

  • Check Host Mapping Validity for Existing Brand

    Check the host mapping validity for an existing brand in Zendesk. Returns the current CNAME record, expected CNAME values, validity status, and the reason for validity or invalidity. Use this action when you need to verify that DNS records are correctly configured for an existing brand that has already been created in Zendesk. This action requires a brand ID rather than subdomain/host_mapping parameters.
