Amazon EventBridge is an event bus service which consumes event data streaming from Zendesk. Events received in Amazon EventBridge can be redirected to AWS services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon SNS, Amazon SQS, and Amazon Kinesis streams. This allows event-driven applications to be built which can subscribe and react to Zendesk events.
You cannot create new events using the Events Connector for Amazon EventBridge, but you can delete any existing connections as needed.
Although Zendesk have discontinued the Events Connector for Amazon EventBridge, you can use webhooks to integrate with Amazon EventBridge.
Deleting an event connection
When deleting an event connection, you must first delete an event rule associated with an event bus in AWS EventBridge before deleting the event bus. If it is not done first, an event bus cannot be deleted.
- In Admin Center, click
Apps and integrations in the sidebar, then select Integrations > Integrations.
- In Amazon Web Services, click Configure.
- Disconnect the event source in the Zendesk Connector interface by clicking
Disconnect.
- Confirm to disconnect the event source. A notification confirming event source disconnection is displayed, and events will immediately stop streaming. It can take up to 20 seconds for the event source status to register as disconnected in Amazon EventBridge.
- In Amazon EventBridge, delete the rule associated with the event bus. For more information, see Deleting or Disabling an EventBridge Rule.
- Remove the event bus in the AWS Event Console. For more information, see the Amazon EventBridge documentation.

Hi, we did not see the option Events Connector for Amazon Eventbridge in the Integrations tab.
Are we missing something, thanks.

Hi there, thanks for reaching out to us.
Access to the Events Connector is dependent on your subscription, and I've realised we haven't explained that well here. Sorry for any confusion that's caused, and we'll get this page updated to make things more clear.
To answer your question in the meantime, in order to access the Connector you need one of the following:

Hello Zendesk,
I was wondering if there was a way to limit the Event Types being sent to EventBridge. For instance, I know I can limit it to “Support ticket” but would like to be even more selective and have it sent only when the “Custom Field Changed” on the ticket. Please advise.
Thank you for your help,
D

Hi Derrick,
Thanks for your question. That's not possible directly within Admin Center. You can however use the rules in EventBridge to filter out or include only the events you are interested in progressing with. This page has some info on example patterns.
I'm curious what your particular use case is here?
Thanks,
Carl Joseph

Carl Joseph Are there any plans to make this configurable via admin center, or anything that be done on Zendesks end configure this for a customer? The use case is, some ticket events may contain PHI/PII (for instance, in the ticket description or comment body). If you are a customer who is only interested in a subset of the ticket events, not including those, you are opening yourself to uneeded security risk.
