FAQ

Questions about Zendesk + Trello.

When does Trello + Zendesk make sense?
When support tickets need cross-team execution (engineering, content, ops). Zendesk keeps the customer conversation; Trello queues the work for non-support teams.
How do I create a Trello card from a Zendesk ticket?
Zendesk Ticket tagged "needs-execution" → Trello Create Card on cross-team board with ticket subject + body + customer context. Save Trello card ID in Zendesk custom field.
Can I push Trello card completion as Zendesk internal note?
Yes. Trello Card Moved to "Done" → look up linked Zendesk ticket → Zendesk Add Comment (public=false) with completion details. Agent sees status inline.
How do I avoid duplicate Trello cards from Zendesk re-fires?
Store Trello card ID in Zendesk ticket custom field. Filter triggers to only fire when the field is empty. Updates use saved card ID.
Can I add Zendesk customer context to the Trello card?
Yes. Get User from Zendesk for the requester. Pass name, email, organization, plan-tier into Trello card description. Team executes with context.
How do I avoid creating Trello cards for low-priority Zendesk?
Filter trigger on Zendesk priority (Urgent/High) or tags. Low-priority tickets stay in Zendesk. Or batch into weekly digest for team review.
