Warning

Tag Replacement Behavior When using the Zendesk node’s “Update Ticket” operation and specifying the Tag Names or IDs field, the entire list of tags on the ticket will be replaced. Any tags not included in the update will be removed from the ticket due to how the Zendesk API processes tag updates by default.

To avoid accidental tag removal:

  • First retrieve the ticket’s tags and merge them with your new tags before updating.

  • Alternatively, use the HTTP Request node with Zendesk’s additional_tags property to add tags without removing existing ones.

  • You can also call the ticket’s /tags endpoint to add tags without replacing existing ones (Zendesk tags endpoint documentation).

See the official documentation for details: Adding tags to tickets without overwriting existing tags.
