Using Power Automate to create a ticket and set custom fields

Hi All,

Has anyone used Microsoft Power Automate to create a ticket in Zendesk and update custom fields?

I have a requirement to:

1. Fill in a form (e.g. Microsoft Forms)
2. Use a schedule to auto create a Zendesk ticket from it  
3. Set Zendesk fields on creation, including custom fields

I can get the ticket created but can't update custom fields. 

The only workaround I can think of is to use triggers which could be cumbersome.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

Matt

Matt,

This is something I've been doing a fair amount of lately, using Microsoft Forms as you are. The way I've handled the flow is to use the Zendesk API to generate a ticket rather than using the existing Zendesk connector in Power Automate. I found there were some limitations with the Zendesk connector (including custom fields) that could be worked around with the API.

So, if you use the HTTP action as a step following the Forms response, you can create a ticket that includes updates to custom fields (in the example below, I highlighted the custom field, down at the bottom of the body section.
