Using Batch API for Salesforce-Zendesk Sync
Can I use the Bulk API for syncing Salesforce records with Zendesk?
No, you should not use the Bulk API for syncing Salesforce records with Zendesk. Instead, use the Batch API.
The reason is that Bulk API updates do not generate the Push Topic events required for syncing, due to limitations in the Salesforce API. Therefore, using the Batch API is essential to ensure that the sync process is triggered correctly.
