Tag Replacement Behavior

When using the Zendesk node's "Update Ticket" operation and specifying the Tag Names or IDs field, the entire list of tags on the ticket will be replaced. Any tags not included in the update will be removed from the ticket due to how the Zendesk API processes tag updates by default.

To avoid accidental tag removal:

  • First retrieve the ticket's tags and merge them with your new tags before updating.
  • Alternatively, use the HTTP Request node with Zendesk's additional_tags property to add tags without removing existing ones.
  • You can also call the ticket's /tags endpoint to add tags without replacing existing ones (Zendesk tags endpoint documentation).

See the official documentation for details: Adding tags to tickets without overwriting existing tags.

What to do if your operation isn't supported#

If this node doesn't support the operation you want to do, you can use the HTTP Request node to call the service's API.

You can use the credential you created for this service in the HTTP Request node:

  1. In the HTTP Request node, select Authentication > Predefined Credential Type.
  2. Select the service you want to connect to.
  3. Select your credential.

Refer to Custom API operations for more information.
