Zendesk is a customer support platform; this toolkit enables agents and automation to manage tickets, comments, and Help Center articles through Arcade.
Capabilities
- Ticket management — list tickets with offset-based pagination, mark tickets as solved (with optional final comment), and retrieve direct
html_urllinks to any ticket in the Zendesk UI. - Ticket conversations — add public or internal comments to existing tickets; retrieve full comment history including author, timestamps, visibility, and file attachments.
- Knowledge base search — search published Help Center articles by query text and/or label names, with combinable filters and offset-based pagination in a single call.
- Identity & account context — fetch the authenticated user's profile, role, email, and organization details.
OAuth
This toolkit uses OAuth 2.0 via the Zendesk provider. See the Arcade Zendesk auth provider docs for setup details.

No special permissions or account tier are required; any agent or admin account on any Zendesk plan will have one.
