How to verify if a Zendesk ticket was created
How can I check if a Zendesk ticket was ever created?
To check if a Zendesk ticket was ever created, you can use the Incremental Ticket Events endpoint of the API. This tool allows you to verify the existence of a ticket ID.
By setting a starttime of a previous ticket's creation, you can search for the ticket ID in question. If no record exists within the incremental/ticketevents page, it indicates that the ID was skipped due to a ticket creation failure. However, if the ticket ID appears in the results, it means the ticket was created but later deleted.
