Enhancement Request: Sync custom fields in Zendesk

Related products: None

We've found that Case Severity in Zendesk is a custom field and therefore Gainsight cannot pull this information over. From a health score perspective, some organizations might find it suffice to create a rule that adjusts the customers support health score solely based on number of tickets open/closed, but in our organization we have SLA's that require a certain level of attention/response time for high priority tickets. In turn these tickets would have a much more severe impact on our customer health score, but since we cannot bring case severity over and build rules off of that specific criteria the value we get from Zendesk integration is limited to being able to read ticket descriptions and see how many tickets a customer has in the customer 360 page. Since that same information can be accessed with 1 click or keystroke outside of Gainsight it cripples the value one can get from Gainsight's Zendesk integration. 
Hi Ray, 





Thanks for posting this idea. We are currently thinking through how we can start syncing custom fields into Gainsight. I will keep you posted as we make progress. It is our intention to support this use case. 





Thanks,

This is a solution that isn't really a solution, but, to display tickets in Gainsight, we use the Zendesk-to-Salesforce integration instead of the Zendesk-to-Gainsight integration. The Salesforce integration supports custom fields.
Actually, what you suggested is a work around. What I suggested is a solution.
+1 on this - we tag zendesk tickets based on type of ticket - and our scoring methodology &scorecard ownership (product or engineering) was based on tag inclusion & exclusio.... As it appears we cannot use any of the tags via the connector we now can't achieve meaningful scorecards with the zendesk connector which is v. disappointing 
Great to hear this in the works. Any updates on the timeline? This is huge for us. 
Agreed 100%
Custom Zendesk fields except Tags would be synced to Gainsight from our Aug release onwards.
