Connector Considerations

When working with the Zendesk connector, keep these behaviors in mind.

  • Connected object names must start with a letter and contain only letters, digits, or underscores. Object names can’t end with an underscore.
  • This connector can sync up to 100,000 rows or 500 MB per object, whichever limit it reaches first.
