The Challenge

The Disconnect: Why Fragmented Zendesk and Infor Data Harms Your Business

In today's fast-paced environment, customer expectations are higher than ever. Yet, many organizations struggle with disconnected systems, forcing customer service agents to navigate multiple applications, leading to delays, errors, and frustrated customers. Without a seamless integration between Zendesk and Infor, critical business processes become inefficient and costly.

  • Customer service agents lack real-time access to order, inventory, and billing data from Infor.
  • Manual data entry and context switching across Zendesk and Infor lead to inefficiencies and errors.
  • Delayed or inaccurate refund and order modification processes impact customer satisfaction and financial accuracy.
  • Inconsistent customer profiles across systems hinder personalized service and marketing efforts.
  • Lack of unified reporting prevents a holistic view of customer behavior and operational performance.

Technical Integration Details: How Zendesk and Infor Connect

Our integration leverages the robust APIs and webhook capabilities of both Zendesk and Infor, orchestrated by a powerful iPaaS. This ensures secure, scalable, and real-time data exchange, forming the backbone of your connected enterprise.

Data Flow Steps

Authentication: Securely authenticate with Zendesk using OAuth 2.0 or API tokens, and with Infor using OAuth 2.0 or API keys, managed by the iPaaS's secrets management.

Event Triggers: Configure Zendesk webhooks to send real-time events (e.g., new ticket, ticket update) to the iPaaS. For Infor, utilize available webhooks or set up scheduled polling for changes in critical entities like Sales Orders or Customers.

Data Extraction: The iPaaS extracts relevant data from the source system (e.g., Zendesk Ticket details, Infor Customer record) using optimized API calls.

Data Transformation: A visual mapping canvas within the iPaaS allows for drag-and-drop transformation of data schemas, ensuring compatibility between Zendesk's flexible fields and Infor's structured entities. AI assists in suggesting optimal mappings.

Business Logic: Implement conditional logic, data validation, and enrichment steps within the iPaaS workflow designer. For example, 'if Infor Customer CreditLimit is exceeded, flag Zendesk Organization with a warning.'

Data Loading: The transformed data is then pushed to the target system via its respective APIs, ensuring atomicity and data integrity.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Robust error handling, retry mechanisms, and comprehensive logging within the iPaaS ensure data consistency and provide real-time visibility into integration health.

Data Touchpoints

Zendesk Tickets ↔ Infor Sales Orders (Status, Line Items)
Zendesk Users/Organizations ↔ Infor Customers/Vendors (Profile, Contact Info)
Zendesk Custom Fields ↔ Infor Product/Inventory Items (Contextual Data)
Zendesk Comments ↔ Infor Internal Notes (Operational Updates)
Zendesk Attachments ↔ Infor Document Management (e.g., invoices, support documents)

"A central iPaaS platform acts as the middleware. Zendesk (left) sends real-time events (Tickets, Users, Orgs) via webhooks to the iPaaS. The iPaaS processes, transforms, and then updates Infor (right) via its APIs (Customers, Sales Orders, Inventory, Invoices). Conversely, Infor updates (Customer changes, Order status) are pulled or pushed to the iPaaS, which then updates Zendesk (Users, Orgs, Tickets with comments/custom fields)."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Field-Level Mappings for Zendesk Infor Integration

Understanding how core entities map between Zendesk and Infor is crucial for building a robust integration. Our iPaaS provides a visual mapping canvas to connect these entities and their fields, ensuring data consistency and integrity.

Zendesk User / Infor Customer

The foundation for a unified customer view. Zendesk Users (requesters) map to Infor Customers, often linked via a common `external_id`.

Zendesk Fields

id name email phone organization_id external_id user_fields (custom)

Infor Fields

CustomerID CustomerName ContactEmail PhoneNumber BillingAddress ShippingAddress PaymentTerms CreditLimit

Mapping Notes

Zendesk's `externalid` is typically mapped to Infor's `CustomerID`. Infor's rich customer attributes are often pushed to Zendesk `userfields` or `organization_fields` for agent context.

Customer Order Status Inquiry

A customer submits a Zendesk ticket asking about their recent order. The integration automatically retrieves the latest order status and shipping details from Infor and updates the Zendesk ticket, providing the agent with real-time context to respond quickly.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer submits Zendesk Ticket with Order ID.
  2. 1 Zendesk webhook triggers iPaaS workflow.
  3. 2 iPaaS extracts Order ID and calls Infor Sales Order API.
  4. 3 Infor returns current order status, shipping info, and line items.
  5. 4 iPaaS enriches Zendesk Ticket with Infor data (private comment/custom fields).
  6. 5 Agent resolves ticket with accurate, real-time information.

Business Outcome

Reduced Average Handle Time (AHT), improved customer satisfaction, fewer agent escalations.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
GET, POST, PUT, DELETE /api/v2/tickets Manage support tickets for CX workflows.
GET, POST, PUT, DELETE /api/v2/users Manage customer and agent profiles, synchronize external IDs.
GET, POST, PUT, DELETE /api/v2/organizations Manage company accounts, link to Infor customer records.
GET, POST, PUT, DELETE /api/v2/custom_objects Store external product/order data for agent context.
GET /api/v2/search Perform powerful searches across Zendesk entities.

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • Zendesk User Name Generation: Concatenate Infor `Customer.FirstName` and `Customer.LastName` to populate Zendesk `User.name`.
  • Infor Customer ID to Zendesk External ID: Map `Infor.Customer.CustomerID` to `Zendesk.User.externalid` and `Zendesk.Organization.externalid` for cross-system linkage.
  • Order Status Harmonization: Translate Infor's detailed `SalesOrder.OrderStatus` values (e.g., 'Awaiting Pick', 'Partially Shipped') into more generalized Zendesk `Ticket.status` values (e.g., 'Open', 'Pending', 'Solved') or specific `Ticket.tags`.
  • Address Standardization: Parse and standardize address components (street, city, state, zip) from Infor's customer records to match Zendesk's expected format, or vice-versa.
  • Currency Conversion: If applicable, convert monetary values (e.g., `Infor.Invoice.TotalAmount`) to the primary currency used in Zendesk, handling exchange rates if necessary.
  • Data Masking: Automatically mask or tokenize sensitive payment information before it is logged or stored in non-PCI compliant environments.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Zendesk API Rate Limit Exceeded: The iPaaS automatically implements exponential backoff and retries the request.
  • Infor Customer Not Found: If a Zendesk ticket references an unknown `CustomerID`, the iPaaS logs the error, alerts the team, and moves the message to a dead-letter queue for review.
  • Invalid Data Format: If Zendesk sends an invalid email format for a user to Infor, the iPaaS cleanses the data or flags it for manual correction before retry.
  • Network Connectivity Issues: Temporary network outages trigger automated retries to ensure eventual consistency.
  • System Outage: If Zendesk or Infor is temporarily unavailable, the iPaaS queues messages and retries once the system is back online, preventing data loss.
