Frequently Asked Questions
Didn't find your answer? Please don't hesitate to reach out.
The Zendesk Chat connector supports OAuth 2.0 authentication via an access token. In open source mode, you provide your access token directly via the ZendeskChatAuthConfig model. In hosted mode, credentials are stored securely in Airbyte Cloud using Airbyte client credentials.
Can I use this connector with any AI agent framework?
The connector is compatible with any Python-based AI agent framework including LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, and custom implementations.
Does this connector support write operations?
Currently, the Zendesk Chat connector focuses on read operations only. Write operations such as starting a new chat session, sending messages, creating agents, updating department settings, or deleting shortcuts are not supported at this time.
How is this different from the Airbyte data connector?
Agent connectors are specifically designed for AI agents and LLM applications. They provide natural language interfaces, optimized response formats, and seamless integration with agent frameworks, unlike traditional ETL-focused connectors.
Will there be a platform for agent connectors?
The hosted version with secure credential storage through Airbyte Cloud is already available. See the hosted usage section in the documentation for setup instructions.
