## Zendesk

For this example we will use the Zendesk API described [here](https://developer.zendesk.com/rest_api/docs/support/introduction).

We are going to use [Smart Collections](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/smart-collections), [Smart Relationships](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/models/relationships/create-a-smart-relationship), and [Smart Fields](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/smart-fields) to implement such integration.
