Zendesk Sunshine
Let AI connect your sources for you
Skip the manual setup — run this in your project and the wizard auto-detects your databases and APIs and connects them to PostHog.
Connect Zendesk Sunshine to PostHog to sync your data into the PostHog data warehouse for analysis and modeling.
Import your Zendesk custom objects into the PostHog Data warehouse: object definitions, their records, and field schemas.
New sources use Zendesk's current custom objects API. The legacy Sunshine API (v1) is still supported for existing sources, but Zendesk is removing it on June 30, 2026. Authenticate with your Zendesk email address and an API token (token access must be enabled for your account).
