Importing Authors as Zendesk Users for Migration
How do I import authors as Zendesk users during migration?
To import authors as Zendesk users, you need to create them with the role of 'agent' using the Zendesk API. This involves setting the role attribute to 'agent' in each POST request. Once a user is created, Zendesk provides a JSON response with the user's new ID, which is crucial for setting the author_id attribute of each article you create. It's helpful to map each author ID to their legacy articles for easy reference during the migration process.
