How do I connect Slack and Zendesk to Operator?

You authorize Slack and Zendesk once each from your Operator dashboard. Operator holds both connections and refreshes the access tokens for you, so your agent keeps working across them without you signing in again.

What can my agent do across Slack and Zendesk?

You describe the outcome in plain language and your agent works between the two, reading from one and acting in the other. It picks the right Slack and Zendesk actions on its own, so you do not map fields or pick triggers.

Can my agent keep Slack and Zendesk in sync?

Yes. It can watch Slack and act in Zendesk, or keep both in step, reading from one and running the matching update in the other. This runs on demand when you ask or on a schedule you set.

Do I need to build a workflow or write code?

No. There is no workflow to build, no fields to map, and no API keys to paste. Operator manages both connections, and you give the agent instructions in plain language.

Automate Slack and Zendesk with AI

Zendesk tickets need visibility in Slack without every agent living in two tabs. An OpenClaw agent on Operator watches new and updated tickets, posts them to the triage channel with priority and requester, and lets someone assign or add an internal note from a thread command. When status changes in Zendesk, the Slack message updates so the room sees the same state.

It reaches both apps directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh, so there is no Zap to build and no API keys to paste.

How it works

Tell the agent what you want to happen between Slack and Zendesk, for example to watch one and act in the other, or to keep the two in step. It reads what it needs from Slack, works out what to do, and runs the matching action in Zendesk without you mapping a single field.

You can have it run once, on a schedule, or whenever something changes. Ask it for a status any time and it reads the latest from both apps back to you in the same chat.
