Step-by-step guide
How to connect Zendesk to Zoom Admin
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Zendesk account
- An active Zoom Admin account with permission to install apps
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Admin or API access in Zendesk to authorize the connection
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Zendesk
Click "Add Connection" and select Zendesk from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Zendesk's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your tickets, contacts, and support queues. You select which ticket views and queues the integration can access.
- Step 03
Authenticate Zoom Admin
Same process for Zoom Admin. Click "Add Connection," select Zoom Admin, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new ticket created in zendesk or new message received in zoom admin. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: send message in zoom admin. Map the data fields between Zendesk and Zoom Admin so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Zendesk and Zoom Admin. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Zendesk to Zoom Admin?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Zendesk and Zoom Admin via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing help desk & support events to communication actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Zendesk and Zoom Admin?

Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the Zendesk and Zoom Admin integration free?

Is my Zendesk data secure when connected to Zoom Admin?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Zendesk or Zoom Admin passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your help desk & support data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Zendesk and Zoom Admin?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Zendesk or Zoom Admin. For example, create a workflow where Zendesk events update Zoom Admin, and a separate one where Zoom Admin changes sync back to Zendesk. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Zendesk and Zoom Admin?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use Zendesk and Zoom Admin, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
