Automatically Linking Tickets with Zendesk API

Find out how to use the Zendesk API to automatically link new tickets to existing ones by setting specific tags.

Can I automatically link new tickets to existing ones using the Zendesk API?

Yes, you can use the Zendesk API to automatically link new tickets to existing ones by setting specific tags. This method involves using the same tags that apps like Linkets use to establish relationships between tickets.

To maintain a bi-directional relationship, your API call should update both the original and new tickets with the appropriate tags. This approach allows you to view these relationships in apps like Linkets, even if the app didn't create the tags initially.
