Handle Previous Sync Matches in Salesforce-Zendesk Integration

Learn how to manage existing sync relationships between Salesforce and Zendesk records and ensure proper synchronization.

What should I do if a previous sync is already matched to a Zendesk record?

A previous sync might have already established a relationship between Salesforce and Zendesk records.

When a record first syncs, it uses matching criteria to check for existing records. If a match is found, the existing record is updated; otherwise, a new record is created. The integration saves this relationship, which takes precedence over matching criteria in future syncs. To resolve this, ensure accounts and organizations are synchronized with matching criteria based on the Account Name in Salesforce being equal to the organization Name in Zendesk.
