  • 2Create an automation and describe that each new Zendesk user should become a Breathe HR employee when they represent a staff member.
  • 3Pick the Zendesk New User Created trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel, then test with one real user record.

Questions about this workflow

Can I exclude customer accounts?

Yes. Tell Notis to create employees only when the new user matches your staff criteria.

What if required employment details are missing?
