      Frequently asked questions about Gmail and Zendesk Integration

      Why is Albato the best alternative to Zapier for integrating Gmail and Zendesk?
      collapsed
      Albato is the best alternative to Zapier because it’s about 30% cheaper, making it perfect for small businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs who want to save money on automation tools. Unlike other automation platforms, Albato has preserved its original no-code approach, so you don’t need any technical skills to set up automations between Gmail and Zendesk. It’s super easy to use, and you can create powerful workflows without the hassle.

      What really sets Albato apart is its excellent customer support — you get real people helping you, no matter which plan you’re on. So if you're looking for a more affordable, user-friendly solution for integrating Gmail and Zendesk, Albato is the way to go!
      Does Gmail integrate with Zendesk on the free plan?
      collapsed
      Yes, you can integrate Gmail with Zendesk using Albato's free plan. Upon registration, you receive a 7-day trial with full access to all features, allowing you to set up and test your Zendesk and Gmail integration without limitations. After the trial, the free plan provides 100 transactions and up to 5 active automations, enabling you to maintain your Gmail Zendesk integration at no cost.
      How to connect Zendesk to Gmail for scheduled syncs?
      collapsed
      To sync Zendesk with Gmail on a scheduled basis, Albato offers flexible scheduling options for your integrations. Whether you need data synchronization or workflow triggers at specific times, days of the week, or custom intervals, you can achieve this easily using API triggers. Simply configure the “Set Schedule” option to define the desired frequency—hourly, on specific weekdays, on selected days of the month, or through a fully customized schedule. Additionally, Albato provides the Scheduled Trigger, which allows you to activate your scenario according to your personalized timetable. This makes Gmail integration with Zendesk seamless and tailored to your specific needs.
      Does Gmail integrate with Zendesk in real time?
      collapsed
      Yes, Gmail integrates with Zendesk in real time using Albato's flexible trigger system. This system supports two types of triggers: Webhook Triggers and API Triggers.
      Webhook Triggers: These triggers activate your Gmail integration with Zendesk instantly when a specified event occurs in the source application. They enable immediate data transfer and real-time synchronization between your applications.
      API Triggers: These triggers poll your system for new events at regular intervals—every 15 minutes, 10 minutes, or as frequently as every minute, depending on your subscription plan. While not instantaneous, they provide near real-time Gmail and Zendesk integration.
      You can identify the type of trigger by specific icons during the automation setup process in Albato. This allows you to choose the most suitable method for your Zendesk integration with Gmail, ensuring your workflows operate according to your requirements.
      How to connect Gmail to Zendesk?
      collapsed
      Setting up an integration between Gmail and Zendesk on Albato is simple and requires no technical skills. Just follow these steps:
      1. Log in to your Albato account. If you don’t have one yet, sign up — it's quick and easy.
      2. Go to the Integrations section and select Gmail and Zendesk from the list of available apps.
      3. Choose triggers and actions. You’ll need to define an event in Gmail (the trigger) that will cause an action in Zendesk, such as sending data or creating an entry.
      4. Map the fields. Use Albato’s data mapping tool to match specific fields between Gmail and Zendesk, ensuring accurate data transfer.
      Once the integration is live, data will flow seamlessly between Gmail and Zendesk, automating your workflows and saving you time.
      How to connect Gmail to Zendesk to sync historical data?
      collapsed
      To sync Gmail with Zendesk and transfer historical data, Albato provides a dedicated Migration Mode. This feature allows you to retrieve and send data from past periods, unlike real-time synchronization, which triggers automation only for new events occurring after setup.
      With Migration Mode, you can configure the transfer of data from any desired timeframe—whether for all historical records or through periodic migrations. To check if Migration Mode is available for your Zendesk integration with Gmail, log in to your Albato account, select the trigger event for your app, and look for the Migration Mode icon. If it's not visible or you need further clarification, feel free to contact our customer support team for assistance.
      How to connect Zendesk to Gmail for two-way synchronization?
      collapsed
      To integrate Zendesk with Gmail for two-way synchronization, Albato uses a system of triggers and actions. You can link Gmail to Zendesk by setting up two separate automations. The first automation sent data from Gmail to Zendesk. For instance, when a record is created or updated in Gmail, the automation ensures the changes are reflected in Zendesk. The second automation works in reverse, updating Gmail when changes occur in Zendesk.
      To avoid infinite loops or duplicate updates, apply filters—such as updating only when specific data changes—and use unique record identifiers. This approach ensures seamless Zendesk Gmail integration and keeps your data consistent across both platforms.
