Note: After the initial sync, the Zendesk ticket description cannot be updated due to its read-only first comment nature. Any changes on the synced task description or fields of the description footer cannot be reflected in Zendesk.

Customization options for Zendesk + GitHub integrations

• Sync Zendesk public comments: By default, only internal notes will sync but you do have the option to sync Zendesk public replies also.
