Version Control

Version control for your Zendesk configuration

Every change tracked in Git. Human-readable YAML files in your own GitHub repo. Full commit history with real author attribution — not a generic bot.

Configly GitHub Sync showing Zendesk configuration exported as YAML files in a GitHub repository with commit history

The problem

Your application code has version control. Your infrastructure has version control. But your Zendesk configuration — the business logic that routes tickets, enforces SLAs, and drives your customer experience — has nothing. No version history. No blame. No way to see what changed or roll it back.

Configly's in-app snapshots already give you version history. GitHub Sync takes it further — putting your configuration into a Git repository you own, in a format your team can actually read.

How it works

🔗

Connect your GitHub

Authenticate with GitHub, choose a repository (or create a new one), and Configly exports your entire Zendesk configuration as clean YAML files.

🔄

Stay in sync automatically

Every Apply Changes operation and every detected drift is automatically committed to your repo with the real author's name and a meaningful commit message.

📜

Browse your history

Use GitHub's full toolkit — blame, search, diff, notifications — to understand your Zendesk configuration history. It's just Git.

Key capabilities

Human-readable YAML

Not raw JSON dumps. Clean, structured YAML that your team can actually read and review. Zendesk IDs resolved to human-readable references.

Real commit attribution

Every commit shows the actual person who made the change — not a generic "Configly Bot." Git blame works the way it should.

Automatic drift commits

Changes made directly in Zendesk are detected and queued for review. Provide a change reason before they're committed — so every change in your repo has context.

Multi-instance support

All your Zendesk instances write to a single repo, organised by subdomain. One place to see everything.

Your repo, your data

The GitHub repository belongs to you. Configly pushes to it — you own it. Disconnect at any time and your history stays.

Selective sync

Exclude sensitive configuration types from sync — like webhooks that may contain API tokens. You choose what goes into Git.

Available on Multi-Instance and Agency plans.
