This Data Flow template is made up of two Data Operations that allow app builders to mark tickets in Zendesk as close. This is achieved by connecting with the Zendesk integration, passing data to this Data Flow and then transforming it so that it can be deleted if meeting certain criteria.
In Connection Builder, Data Flow templates can be found with pre-populated sample data. However, to meet the requirements of their Journey, app builders should perform the necessary adjustments, such as adding other Data Ops.
Bear in mind that in order to use Zendesk as a datasource, credentials must be set in Configuration Builder > Integrations to connect the corresponding account.

The Start pane keeps track of the inputs required by the Data Flow.
