Zendesk API 200 Response but Request Ignored
Why does my Zendesk API request return a 200 response but not work?
A 200 response from the Zendesk API means the request was received, but it doesn't guarantee the requested change was made. The Zendesk REST API is designed to be permissive, meaning it will ignore any attributes in your request that don't exist in the model. For example, if you try to update a ticket with a non-existent field, the API will ignore that field and continue processing the rest of the request without error. To identify ignored fields, check for theX-Zendesk-Api-Warnheader in the response, which will indicate any restricted keys that were removed. For more details, visit theoriginal help article.
