Connect SAP and Zendesk

Connecting SAP and Zendesk for a company using both systems could enable the transfer of relevant data between business operations and customer service functions. Such a connection could support coordinated workflows, improved visibility into customer interactions, and more efficient handling of service requests that require information from enterprise resource planning processes.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between SAP and Zendesk around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect SAP and Zendesk?

A company that runs both SAP and Zendesk could benefit from connecting these systems to allow data to flow between them. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter the same information in both systems, which can lead to errors, wasted time, and inconsistent records. For example, customer details or support issues updated in Zendesk may not be reflected in SAP, causing discrepancies that affect reporting and decision-making. This situation can result in teams working with outdated or incomplete data, which can impact service quality and operational efficiency. If a connection were established, it could enable the automatic exchange of information such as customer contact details, support ticket statuses, order updates, or billing information, depending on what each system is designed to manage. This could help ensure that both systems reflect the same reality, reducing manual work and the risk of mistakes. The specific types of data that could be exchanged would depend on what each system is designed to handle and what is made available through their respective APIs. Ultimately, the actual data that can be exchanged is determined by what each system exposes through its API and must be assessed case by case.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what SAP and Zendesk make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
