How to connect PagerDuty and Zendesk
Create a New Scenario to Connect PagerDuty and Zendesk
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a PagerDuty, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, PagerDuty or Zendesk will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find PagerDuty or Zendesk, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the PagerDuty Node
Select the PagerDuty node from the app selection panel on the right.

- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring PagerDuty, Zendesk, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the PagerDuty and Zendesk integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PagerDuty and Zendesk (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect PagerDuty and Zendesk
PagerDuty + Zendesk + Slack: When a high-priority incident is created in PagerDuty, a Zendesk ticket is automatically created to track the issue. A notification is then sent to a dedicated Slack channel to inform the team.
Zendesk + PagerDuty + Jira: When a Zendesk ticket is updated, check if the ticket is escalated. If it is, automatically create a PagerDuty incident to alert the on-call team and a Jira issue for the development team to investigate and resolve the underlying problem.
