IVR Flow Migration: Zendesk Trigger Logic Mismatch in Architect

Does anyone know how to translate Zendesk ticket field conditions into Genesys Cloud Architect nodes? We are moving our tier-1 routing and hitting validation errors when mapping custom ticket tags to IVR menu selections.

The flow fails at the first decision node. We expect a simple boolean check, but Architect demands specific interaction data attributes that do not exist in our legacy Zendesk export files.

Our timezone is Europe/Paris, so we are debugging late. The error is vague, just a red X on the node. How do we bridge this data gap during initial migration?

You should probably look at at the Interaction Data node configuration rather than trying to map Zendesk tags directly to IVR menu options. The validation error occurs because Architect expects structured interaction attributes, not raw legacy export strings. In the Performance Dashboard, we often see similar discrepancies when queue activity metrics do not align with expected routing outcomes due to missing context.

To resolve this, ensure the Zendesk integration pushes custom fields into specific Interaction Data attributes during the initial contact event. Then, configure the Decision node to evaluate these attributes using standard comparison operators. This approach maintains data integrity across the customer journey. If the fields are not populating, verify the Zendesk webhooks are correctly mapping to the Genesys Cloud interaction schema.
