Frequently Asked Questions

Didn't find your answer? Please don't hesitate to reach out.

How do I authenticate with Zendesk Chat?

The zendesk-chat connector supports OAuth 2.0 authentication via access token. You provide your Zendesk Chat OAuth 2.0 access token in the auth_config when initializing the connector.

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?

No, the zendesk-chat connector currently focuses on read operations only. It cannot start chat sessions, send messages, create agents, update department settings, or delete shortcuts. Write support may be added in future versions.

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.
