Keep Zendesk and Microsoft Teams updated automatically.
Today someone reads the message, and after that it still has to land somewhere else before anything happens. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Zendesk lands in Microsoft Teams by itself, in the shape Microsoft Teams expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

Common questions
Can you connect Zendesk to Microsoft Teams?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Zendesk and Microsoft Teams, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Can I choose which events send me a Microsoft Teams message?
Yes. You decide which events from Zendesk produce a message, for instance a new order but not a stock change.
Which Microsoft Teams channel do the notifications land in?
The channel you choose. You can also send different kinds of notification to different channels, so it does not become one big stream.
How are the Zendesk fields mapped to Microsoft Teams?
You set once which field from Zendesk belongs where in Microsoft Teams. After that every new submission lands in the right place automatically.
What does connecting Zendesk and Microsoft Teams cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does Zendesk sync with Microsoft Teams?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
Do I get one Microsoft Teams message per event or a summary?
By default it is one short message per event, one line on what is happening. If you would rather have a digest, we settle that when setting it up.
What if someone fills in the Zendesk form twice?
Then it checks by email whether the contact already exists, so you do not create a duplicate in Microsoft Teams.
Missing something you need?
Tell us what Zendesk and Microsoft Teams should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
