Using Zendesk API to Correct Deleted Values Errors

Learn how to use the Zendesk API to identify and correct errors caused by deleted values in automations.

How can I use the Zendesk API to correct errors from deleted values?

Using the Zendesk API to correct errors from deleted values involves scripting to identify and update affected tickets. First, retrieve the UNIX timestamp for when the automation started or the field change occurred.

Use this timestamp with the incremental events API endpoint to get ticket events since that time. Identify the Automation ID and affected tickets, then determine the necessary actions to correct them. The Update Many Tickets endpoint allows for efficient bulk updates to resolve the issue.
