In order for the Zendesk meshlet to create attachments as well as query for attachments users add to Zendesk tickets, you will need to enable the ability for end users to attach files to tickets.

(info) NOTE:

  • ServiceBond for Zendesk supports attachments only up to approximately 7MB in both directions (i.e. when sending attachments from another ITSM app into Zendesk and when querying for attachments from Zendesk to send to the other ITSM app). This is due to limitations with how much data can be queried in both directions. Any attachments larger than this size will be skipped.
  • Zendesk requires attachments be added as part of a comment to the ticket. By default, the attachment is added with a comment Attachment added to ticket but you can use your own comment for when attachments are added into Zendesk by setting the defaultAttachmentComment meshlet configuration.
