<span class="importanttitle">Important:</span> Zendesk has discontinued the Events Connector for Amazon EventBridge. You can't configure new events with the Zendesk Events Connector. Existing event connections will continue to work until December 1, 2025. Consider <a class="xref" href="https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/7778413975322" rel="noopener" target="_blank">using webhooks to integrate with Amazon EventBridge</a>.</div>
<p class="p">Amazon EventBridge is an event bus service which consumes event data streaming from Zendesk. Events received in Amazon EventBridge can be redirected to AWS services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon SNS, Amazon SQS, and Amazon Kinesis streams. This allows event-driven applications to be built which can subscribe and react to Zendesk events.</p>
<p class="p">You cannot create new events using the Events Connector for Amazon EventBridge, but you can delete any existing connections as needed.</p>
<p class="p">Although Zendesk have discontinued the Events Connector for Amazon EventBridge, you can <a class="xref" href="https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/7778413975322" rel="noopener" target="_blank">use webhooks to integrate with Amazon EventBridge</a>.</p>
