The Brevo integration with Zendesk allows you to import your Zendesk contacts with open tickets to an exclusion list in Brevo in real time. This allows you to blocklist clients who opened a ticket on Zendesk from marketing emails to avoid sending them marketing emails when they are not happy with your products. Once their ticket is resolved, your client will automatically be removed from the exclusion list and will receive your marketing emails again. 

Good to know

• Only the email address of your Zendesk contacts will be imported into Brevo.

Before you start

• You must be an admin of the Zendesk workspace or an agent with a custom role with special permission to manage the API access and be able to access the Apps and integrations section in Zendesk.

Part 1: Authorize Brevo to access your Zendesk Support account

Before you set up the Zendesk contacts integration, authorize Brevo to access your Zendesk Support account: 

1. From your Agents' workspace/Dashboard, click > Admin center. 
2. From the left panel, click Apps and integrations > Zendesk API.
   
3. Toggle the Password access option to enable the API authentication by login. 
   

You can now set up the Zendesk integration with Brevo 👇. 

Part 2: Set up the Zendesk contacts integration

Now that you have authorized Brevo to access your Zendesk Support account, you are ready to start integrating Zendesk contacts with Brevo:

1. Click the account dropdown > Plugins & Integrations.
   
2. Search and click the Zendesk contacts integration.
   
3. Give a name to the integration.
4. Click Create integration.

Connect account

Connect the integration to the service account you previously created:

1. Click Connect your account or Add an account.
2. Fill in the account information:
   • Authentication name: the name you want to give to the account
   • URL: your Zendesk Support's instance URL which you can copy from the address bar of the browser, e.g. https://your_instance.zendesk.com
   • Username: your email address that you use to log in to Zendesk
   • Password: your Zendesk password
3. Click Proceed. Your account is now active.
   
4. Click Continue.

Select your list

Select the list in which you want to import your Zendesk contacts after they create a Zendesk ticket:

1. To import your Zendesk contacts to Brevo, you can either:
   • In the Select a list tab, select the list from your existing ones in which you want to synchronize your Zendesk contacts.
     
   • In the Create a list tab, create a new list in which you want to synchronize your Zendesk contacts. In this case, give a name to your list and select a folder to which you want to add it. 
     
2. Click Continue. 

Confirmation

To enable the integration, click Save and activate.

Part 3: Check your contacts

Now that your integration is connected to Brevo and set up, each time a client creates a Zendesk ticket on your website and if they are already registered in your Brevo contacts, they will be imported to your exclusion list selected during the Zendesk contacts set up. 

To access the list, go to Contacts > Lists and choose the folder in which you created it. You will see that your clients' details have been added to the list of contacts you selected during the Zendesk contacts setup:
