Example

A minimal configuration for this block:

  "type": "zendesk/post-conversation-message",
  "config": {
    "conversationId": "<PreviousStep.field>",
    "text": "<PreviousStep.field>"
  }
}

Limits and failure modes

  • Requires a connected Zendesk integration. Calls fail if that integration is disconnected or its authorization has expired.
  • Required fields (conversationId, text) must be set, or the block fails validation before it runs.
  • On failure the error output is populated; downstream blocks that reference other outputs may not receive values.
