Airbyte Zendesk-Chat Connector for AI platforms

Zendesk-Chat agent connector

Zendesk Chat enables real-time customer support through live chat. This connector provides access to chat transcripts, agents, departments, shortcuts, triggers, and other chat configuration data for analytics and support insights.

Supported Entities

• accounts: Account information and billing details
• agents: Chat agents with roles and department assignments
• agent_timeline: Agent activity timeline (incremental export)
• bans: Banned visitors (IP and visitor-based)
• chats: Chat transcripts with full conversation history (incremental export)
• departments: Chat departments for routing
• goals: Conversion goals for tracking
• roles: Agent role definitions
• routing_settings: Account-level routing configuration
• shortcuts: Canned responses for agents
• skills: Agent skills for skill-based routing

Rate Limits

Zendesk Chat API uses the Retry-After header for rate limit backoff. The connector handles this automatically.

Installation

uv pip install airbyte-agent-zendesk-chat

Usage

Connectors can run in open source or hosted mode.

Open source

In open source mode, you provide API credentials directly to the connector.

from airbyte_agent_zendesk-chat import ZendeskChatConnector
from airbyte_agent_zendesk_chat.models import ZendeskChatAuthConfig

connector = ZendeskChatConnector(
    auth_config=ZendeskChatAuthConfig(
        access_token="<Your Zendesk Chat OAuth 2.0 access token>"
    )
)

@agent.tool_plain # assumes you're using Pydantic AI
@ZendeskChatConnector.describe
async def zendesk-chat_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
    return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})

Hosted

In hosted mode, API credentials are stored securely in Airbyte Cloud. You provide your Airbyte credentials instead.

This example assumes you've already authenticated your connector with Airbyte. See Authentication to learn more about authenticating. If you need a step-by-step guide, see the hosted execution tutorial.

from airbyte_agent_zendesk-chat import ZendeskChatConnector

connector = ZendeskChatConnector(
    external_user_id="<your-scoped-token>",
    airbyte_client_id="<your-client-id>",
    airbyte_client_secret="<your-client-secret>"
)

@agent.tool_plain # assumes you're using Pydantic AI
@ZendeskChatConnector.describe
async def zendesk-chat_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
    return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})
