Why teams connect Microsoft Graph and Zendesk
Connect the tickets, records, and events in Zendesk to the systems engineering runs in Microsoft Graph, kept current in real time and in both directions.
Zendesk is where customer-facing and operational work happens: the tickets, conversations, contacts, and records a team touches every day. Microsoft Graph is where engineering runs the systems behind that work — the issue trackers, message brokers, directories, and monitors that keep services moving. The same items, people, and events matter to both, and when the only link between them is a manual hand-off or an overnight export, each side acts on a stale copy of what the other already knows.
Stacksync syncs Organizations, Attachments, Ticket Forms, Tickets in Zendesk with Calendar events, Contacts, Drive items (OneDrive & SharePoint), Teams messages and chats in Microsoft Graph field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync maps the overlap, resolves conflicts by rules you set, and keeps every copy current, with no middleware to build and no API limits to babysit.
Common use cases
- 01 Mirror high-priority or escalated tickets into engineering trackers through the synced database.
- 02 Consolidate several Zendesk instances into one reporting database after a merger or brand split.
- 03 Two-way sync Users and Groups between Microsoft Entra ID and an HRIS or Postgres so joiners, movers, and leavers provision and deprovision accounts and group memberships automatically.
- 04 Sync Outlook Calendar events and Contacts two-way with a CRM so reps' meetings and the people they meet stay aligned across both systems.
Common sync patterns
Where Microsoft Graph moves messages between services: activity lands on the stream
Records created or changed in Zendesk publish to the queue or topic in Microsoft Graph as they happen, so downstream services react to real events rather than polling for them.
Where Microsoft Graph is the directory or identity source: one set of users
People and accounts in Zendesk stay matched to the users in Microsoft Graph, so access, provisioning, and org changes propagate instead of being keyed in twice.
Where Microsoft Graph watches operations: live volumes for visibility
Open items, throughput, and error counts from Zendesk replicate into Microsoft Graph, so the operational view reflects what is actually happening in the business.
What you can sync between Microsoft Graph 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.
| Microsoft Graph objects | Zendesk objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Users Entra ID user accounts read and written via /users; create, update profile attributes, and enable or disable accounts with User.ReadWrite.All. | Users End users and agents; matched to CRM contacts to keep requester data consistent. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Planner tasks Plans, buckets, and tasks via /planner; read and write task status, assignments, and due dates to keep project state in sync. | Tickets The central work object; synced to databases for SLA and volume reporting or mirrored into engineering tools. | Planner tasks is specific to Microsoft Graph and Tickets to Zendesk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Groups and memberships Microsoft 365 and security groups via /groups; read and write name, owners, and add/remove members, with membership deltas surfaced by delta query. | Tickets Comments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Groups and memberships is specific to Microsoft Graph and Tickets Comments to Zendesk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Mail messages (Outlook) Messages via /users/{id}/messages; read and create drafts, update, and send with the sendMail action, so this surface is fully read-write. | Organizations Company groupings for users; typically kept aligned with CRM accounts. | Mail messages (Outlook) is specific to Microsoft Graph and Organizations to Zendesk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Calendar events Outlook events via /users/{id}/events; read and write meetings, attendees, and recurrence, and accept or decline invitations. | Attachments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Calendar events is specific to Microsoft Graph and Attachments to Zendesk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Contacts Personal Outlook contacts via /users/{id}/contacts; full create, read, update, delete, synced two-way with CRM person records. | Ticket Forms Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Contacts is specific to Microsoft Graph and Ticket Forms to Zendesk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Microsoft Graph and Zendesk
Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.
Microsoft Graph Zendesk Sub-second propagation
DetectionMicrosoft Graph notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Delta query (change tracking) returns created, updated, and deleted items since the last deltaLink for users, groups, mail, events, contacts, and.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Zendesk through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Zendesk Microsoft Graph Sub-second propagation
DetectionZendesk notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Incremental export endpoints with cursor-based pagination, plus webhooks fired by triggers.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Microsoft Graph through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Microsoft Graph: Throttled per app and per tenant, returning HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header; limits vary by service — the Outlook mail service allows about 10,000 requests per 10 minutes per app per mailbox with up to 4 concurrent requests, and delta and subscription tokens expire and must be renewed.
- Zendesk: Request limits vary by plan; incremental export endpoints have their own allowances.

How the Microsoft Graph and Zendesk connectors work
Microsoft Graph
- Integration surface
- Microsoft Graph unified REST API (v1.0 and beta) at graph.microsoft.com, spanning Microsoft 365 services — Entra ID, Outlook mail and calendar, OneDrive and SharePoint, Teams, and Planner; supports JSON $batch (up to 20 requests per call).
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform (Microsoft Entra ID). An app registration holds delegated or application (app-only) scopes such as Mail.ReadWrite, Calendars.ReadWrite, Files.ReadWrite.All, User.ReadWrite.All, and Group.ReadWrite.All; application permissions require tenant admin consent.
- Change detection
- Delta query (change tracking) returns created, updated, and deleted items since the last deltaLink for users, groups, mail, events, contacts, and driveItems; change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) POST near-real-time notifications to a notification URL and must be renewed before they expire.
- Capabilities
- read · write · webhooks
- Rate limits

-
Change detection on Microsoft Graph: Delta query (change tracking) returns created, updated, and deleted items since the last deltaLink for users, groups, mail, events, contacts, and driveItems; change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) POST near-real-time notifications to a notification URL and must be renewed before they expire. On Zendesk: Incremental export endpoints with cursor-based pagination, plus webhooks fired by triggers. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Zendesk side: Organizations, Attachments, Ticket Forms, Tickets, plus custom fields where Zendesk exposes them. On the Microsoft Graph side: Calendar events, Contacts, Drive items (OneDrive & SharePoint), Teams messages and chats. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
