Zendesk Guide Data Model & Schema Information

Let’s see:

  1. How Blendo syncs Zendesk Guide data
  2. The tables with Zendesk Guide data that we create in your destination data warehouse

How Blendo syncs Zendesk Guide data

Historical Data

When Blendo first connects to Zendesk Guide Data source, will pull all your historical data.

Sync Schedule

Blendo syncs Zendesk Guide data based on the schedule and frequency you choose. The default setting is every 1 hour but is configurable from inside the app.

Replication Process

The first time Blendo syncs your Zendesk Guide data performs a full replication. Then your Zendesk Guide data is replicated fully as Zendesk Guide’s API does not allow incremental replication other than Deals resource. Note that Blendo will only read your data.

After you finish the integration with Zendesk Guide, you might see its status as Importing from sourceExporting to the destination, or Completed.

What Zendesk Guide data do I have available?

Blendo creates analytics ready tables with recent and consistent data. Bellow is a diagram of the schema and you may also find a CSV with all the columns and fields in more detail.
