Add available Google Contacts context to new Zendesk users

See whether your connected Google account already has helpful contact details for a new user.

Trigger

New User Created

Triggered when a new user is created in Zendesk.

Action

Get contacts

Fetches contacts (connections) for the authenticated google account, allowing selection of specific data fields and pagination.

Why this helps

Relevant contact information can be scattered across Zendesk and Google Contacts.

  • Retrieve contact records to review alongside the new Zendesk user.
  • Use existing relationship information without a manual Contacts search.
  • Keep enrichment grounded in available contact fields.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zendesk and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations with a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis to look up the new user in Google Contacts using available identifiers and report relevant fields.
  • 4Pick the New User Created trigger and choose where reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real user record and verify the matched contact.

Questions about this workflow

Can it update the Zendesk user with contact details?

No. The selected Gmail action retrieves contacts. It does not update Zendesk.

What fields can it retrieve?

The contacts action supports selecting data fields. State which available contact details you want returned.
