How to connect Podio and Zendesk
Create a New Scenario to Connect Podio 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 Podio, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Podio or Zendesk will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Podio or Zendesk, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Podio Node
Select the Podio node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Podio, 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 Podio and Zendesk integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Podio 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 Podio and Zendesk
Podio + Zendesk + Slack: When a new project is created in Podio, a Zendesk ticket is created to track support related to that project, and a Slack message is sent to the project team to notify them.
Zendesk + Jira + Podio: When a Zendesk ticket is updated with a specific tag indicating escalation, a Jira issue is created. The Podio project item associated with the ticket is then updated to reflect the escalation status.
