Why teams connect IBM Informix and Zendesk

Mirror Zendesk's data into IBM Informix so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Zendesk through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in IBM Informix.

Stacksync mirrors Tickets Comments, Users, Organizations, Attachments from Zendesk into Tables, Rows, Views, TimeSeries objects in IBM Informix and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Zendesk, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Consolidate several Zendesk instances into one reporting database after a merger or brand split.
  • Sync tickets, users, and organizations into Postgres so support analytics run on SQL instead of repeated API pulls.
  • Feed inventory and transaction data from legacy Informix applications into modern ERPs during migration.
  • Replicate Informix tables into a cloud warehouse using its change data capture interface for near-real-time reporting.

Automate Zendesk from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in IBM Informix and Stacksync propagates the change into Zendesk, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Zendesk arrive as row changes in IBM Informix, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Zendesk

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

IBM Informix objects Zendesk objects
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Users End users and agents; matched to CRM contacts to keep requester data consistent.
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Organizations Company groupings for users; typically kept aligned with CRM accounts.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Attachments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Ticket Forms Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Tickets The central work object; synced to databases for SLA and volume reporting or mirrored into engineering tools.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Tickets Comments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
