Triggers, automations, macros, views &#8212; that&#8217;s where most admins start. But your Zendesk is built on much more than business rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we&#8217;re shipping v0.11.0, which expands Configly&#8217;s coverage from 12 to 42 object types. That&#8217;s a 3.5x increase in visibility across your entire Zendesk configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s New<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apps &amp; Integrations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time, Configly tracks your installed marketplace apps, owned apps, OAuth clients, and resource collections. This is a category that no other Zendesk configuration tool handles well. Now you can see exactly which apps are installed, what version they&#8217;re running, whether they&#8217;re enabled, and what settings they use, all versioned and diffable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guide \/ Help Centre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Articles, sections, categories, themes, user segments, and permission groups are now synced. Configly tracks article metadata (title, section, draft status, last updated) rather than full HTML content &#8212; we&#8217;re a configuration management tool, not a Help Centre editor. This means you can audit for orphaned articles, stale content, and permission gaps across your knowledge base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Routing &amp; Omnichannel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For Enterprise plans, Configly now syncs routing attributes, queues, and skills. These are the building blocks of omnichannel routing, and until now they&#8217;ve been invisible to configuration management tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Custom Objects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another Enterprise feature now fully supported. Configly tracks your custom object definitions and their field schemas, giving you version history and diff capability on what&#8217;s traditionally been a &#8220;set and forget&#8221; configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Everything Else<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve also added webhooks, targets, custom roles, custom statuses, trigger categories, tags, support addresses, locales, dynamic content, sharing agreements, OAuth clients, workspaces, and account\/ticket settings. Every one of these gets the full Configly treatment: versioned snapshots, visual diffing, What-If simulation, and dependency mapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restructured Navigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With 42 types, a flat list doesn&#8217;t work. The sidebar now mirrors the Zendesk Admin Centre layout with collapsible groups: Objects &amp; Rules, People, Channels, Account, Apps &amp; Integrations, Guide, and AI. If you know where to find something in Zendesk, you&#8217;ll find it in the same place in Configly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smart Plan Detection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not every Zendesk instance has access to every feature. Routing, custom objects, and other enterprise-tier capabilities require specific plan levels. Configly detects this automatically &#8212; if your plan doesn&#8217;t include a feature, that type is hidden rather than showing confusing error messages. Upgrade your Zendesk plan and the types appear on your next sync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why This Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Configuration drift isn&#8217;t limited to triggers and automations. An app installation gets updated, a routing rule changes, a Help Centre permission group gets modified, a custom object field gets renamed &#8212; these are all changes that can break workflows and are nearly impossible to track manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With 42 object types under management, Configly gives you a single pane of glass across your entire Zendesk configuration. Every change is captured, every version is stored, and every impact can be simulated before you commit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re already using Configly, head to Settings on your connection and enable the new types you want to track. Hit Sync Now and you&#8217;ll see your expanded configuration within minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re not using Configly yet, we&#8217;re currently in beta.
