New Contact Not Linked to Salesforce Account

Understand why a newly-created contact might not link to a Salesforce account and how to fix it.

Why isn't a newly-created contact linked to the relevant Salesforce account?

A newly-created contact might not be linked to the relevant Salesforce account if the Zendesk organization on the ticket hasn't been synced from a Salesforce account. This is a key requirement for linking contacts to accounts.

To ensure that new contacts are properly linked, make sure that the Zendesk organization is correctly synced from a Salesforce account. This will help maintain accurate associations between contacts and accounts.
