Latenode

Route Slack channel messages to Zendesk as support tickets

This template watches a Slack channel and opens a Zendesk ticket for each new message. Slack starts the run.

Zendesk creates the ticket with the message text as the description and the Slack user as requester context. Connect Slack and Zendesk, then pick the channel your team uses for support.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
