Set Brand for Welcome Emails in Zendesk API

Learn how to set the brand for welcome emails when creating users via Zendesk API using subdomains or active_brand_id.

How can I set the brand for welcome emails when creating users via Zendesk API?

To set the brand for welcome emails when creating users through the Zendesk API, you have two options.

First, you can use your brand's specific subdomain instead of the main account subdomain when making API requests. This ensures that users are created under the desired brand, and they will receive the welcome email from that brand. For example, usehttps://yourbrandsubdomain.zendesk.com/api/v2/usersinstead ofhttps://yoursubdomain.zendesk.com/api/v2/users.

Alternatively, you can use theactive_brand_idattribute in your API call. First, find the brand ID by accessinghttps://yoursubdomain.zendesk.com/api/v2/brands. Then, include this ID in your API call like so:{"user":{"name":"Test User","role":"end-user","email":"[email protected]","active_brand_id":YOURBRANDIDHERE}}. This method assigns the user to the specified brand upon creation.
