NetSuite Contact to Zendesk User – Update

• The flow can be configured to trigger the sync on the create operation, the update operation, or both.
• The flow can be configured to run in one direction (NetSuite to Zendesk Support or Zendesk Support to Netsuite) or bi-directionally.

NetSuite to Zendesk flow is real-time. Zendesk  to NetSuite flows is batch. The frequency of running the batch flows can be configured.

Note: Orphan records are not supported. A NetSuite Contact has to be associated with a NetSuite Customer (synced with Zendesk) before getting synced to Zendesk Support.

Similarly, a Zendesk User has to be associated with a Zendesk Organization (synced with NetSuite) before getting synced to NetSuite.

Important note about contact sync

NetSuite Customer to Zendesk  Organization Flow Settings

When the integration app is installed, existing customers in NetSuite are not automatically synced to Zendesk. The data flow must be turned on (Settings section in integrator.io) and the customer records must be edited, for the data to be transferred to Zendesk  successfully.

If the flow is turned on and the Customer is edited, then the Customer will sync to Zendesk as Organization and all the Contacts associated with this Customer will also sync to Zendesk as Users.

Contacts will not sync if NetSuite Contact to Zendesk User flow is disabled. But if enabled, the Contacts will sync over along with the Customer.

In the integrator.io dashboard, only the NetSuite Customer to Zendesk Organization flow status will be displayed. NetSuite Contact to Zendesk User flow will not show up in the dashboard in this scenario (as Contacts are part of Customer record).

Syncing Contacts and Users Shown With Screens

A Contact in NetSuite is associated with a Customer Record. When a new contact is created for the Customer or an existing Contact is updated, the record is exported to Zendesk as a New User or as an Updated User respectively.

The NetSuite Contact information is updated in NetSuite (phone and address is updated).

Observe that the flow is successfully triggered and data is exported.

The Zendesk user record is updated with new information from NetSuite.
