Assign Followers based on dynamic fields pushed to Organization from Salesforce



Posted May 14, 2021

We have field teams assigned to our Accounts in Salesforce. We push Account Data from Salesforce to Zendesk Organizations.

It would be super helpful if we could create a trigger, or automation or whatever, to add the users from these dynamic fields as ticket followers for the Account (Organization) to which they are assigned.

This is exactly what I'm looking for too! So far no solution to be found.

This would be ideal. This wishlist highlights this as a need as well.

I think I found a way to do this, however it still isn't ideal.

Prerequisites:

  • Requires the users listed in the dynamic fields to have staff/agent access to Zendesk (can be a light agent for example).
  • Requires Zendesk users (those that can submit tickets) to be associated to Organizations.

My example organization looks like below. You can see I am the names CSM and lets assume this field has come from Salesforce.

 

My example trigger looks like below. When a ticket is created, it's associated with an Organization. The organization has CSM. When a ticket is created and there is a csm, the action will be to add them as a follow.

I did mention it's not ideal.

This is as a result of the prerequisites and the fact that each CSM will need their own trigger. These triggers would need to be updated (CSMs that leave would need to have triggers deleted and new CSMs would need to have triggers created for them).

I would love if this was possible for CC instead of follower where you could add an end user instead rather than it having to make users light agents.
