Welcome every new Zendesk user with ActiveTrail

Turn each new Zendesk user into an organized, reachable contact.

Trigger

New User Created

Triggered when a new user is created in Zendesk.

Action

Create or Update Group Member

Tool to create or update a member in a group. Use when you need to add a new contact to a specific group or update an existing member's details. The API will not return errors if the address is already in the group.

Why this helps

New users can remain stranded in Zendesk while marketing and support follow-up happens elsewhere.

  • Keeps contact records current
  • Reduces manual exports
  • Makes follow-up lists immediately usable

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zendesk and ActiveTrail in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation and describe that each new Zendesk user should be created or updated in a chosen ActiveTrail group.
  • 3Pick New User Created as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel, test with one real user, and review the run report.
