[Zendesk] How to prevent SnapCall from overwriting existing Zendesk custom fields?

Written by Guillaume Chauviere

SnapCall can automatically populate Zendesk custom fields using information extracted from media, documents, and AI Skills.

By default, SnapCall may update mapped custom fields even if they already contain a value. If you want to preserve existing Zendesk data and only populate empty fields, you can disable the "Overwrite custom fields " option.

This setting ensures that:

  • Existing values entered by agents are preserved.

  • SnapCall only fills empty custom fields.

  • AI-extracted data does not overwrite manually verified information.

  • Reporting remains consistent when agents are responsible for maintaining certain fields.

How to enable/disable It ?

  1. Log in to your SnapCall workspace > https://app.snapcall.io/

  2. Navigate to Settings > Integrations.

  3. Select your Zendesk integration.

  4. Locate the Overwrite custom fields section.

  5. Enable/disable the option.
