Templates

Ready-made ideas.

New ticket created Validate phone → add internal note

Validate requester phones on tickets

Validate the requester's phone on every Zendesk ticket. Add an internal note showing isvalid, type, and the formatted.e164 number.

User updated Validate phone → update to e164 format

Standardize phone numbers on contacts

When a Zendesk user's phone changes, validate and update it to the formatted.e164 standard so agents always have a dialable number.

Setup

Connect it in a few steps.

Set up with Zapier

1
Set the trigger. Create a Zap with Zendesk as the trigger app and "New ticket" as the event. Connect your account.
2
Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the Phone Number Validator API, and map your trigger data to the request.
3
Send it back. Add a second Zendesk action for "Create ticket" and map the returned fields (like country) into it.
4
Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.

Set up with Make

1
Add the trigger. Create a scenario and add a Zendesk module set to "New ticket". Authenticate your account.
2
Call the API. Add an HTTP module pointing at api.apiverve.com/v1/phonenumbervalidator with your x-api-key header. Pass the trigger's data as the input.
3
Parse & map. Add a JSON module to read the response, then a Zendesk module for "Create ticket". Map fields like data.country into place.
4
Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.

Set up with n8n

1
Add the trigger node. Start a workflow with a Zendesk trigger node for "New ticket" and connect your credentials.
2
Add an HTTP Request node. Point it at api.apiverve.com/v1/phonenumbervalidator using Header Auth (x-api-key). Feed in the trigger data.
3
Map with expressions. Add a Zendesk node for "Create ticket" and reference the response with expressions such as {{ $json.data.country }}.
4
Execute & activate. Execute manually to verify, then activate the workflow for production.
