Zendesk Toolkit
The Zendesk toolkit connects Arcade to your Zendesk account, enabling agents and applications to manage support tickets, retrieve conversation history, search the Help Center knowledge base, and inspect account context.
Capabilities
- Ticket management: List tickets with offset-based pagination, add public or internal comments, and mark tickets as solved (with an optional closing comment). All ticket responses include
html_urlfor direct browser access. - Conversation retrieval: Fetch all comments on a ticket — including the original description, author IDs, timestamps, visibility (public/internal), and file attachments.
- Knowledge base search: Search published Help Center articles by query text, label names, or date filters; multiple filters can be combined in a single call with offset-based pagination.
- Account introspection: Retrieve the authenticated user's profile, role, organization, and Zendesk account context.
OAuth
This toolkit uses OAuth 2.0 via the Zendesk provider. See the Arcade Zendesk auth provider docs for configuration details.
Secrets
ZENDESK_SUBDOMAIN— Your Zendesk subdomain identifies which Zendesk instance to target. It is the{subdomain}portion of your Zendesk URL:https://{subdomain}.zendesk.com. You can find it by logging into Zendesk and inspecting the browser address bar, or under Admin Center → Account → Branding. This is not a credential — it is the account identifier required to route API calls to the correct instance.
See Arcade tool secrets docs for how to configure secrets, or manage them directly at https://api.arcade.dev/dashboard/auth/secrets.
