Entra Contacts to Zammad User Sync

This workflow facilitates seamless synchronization between Entra (Microsoft Azure AD) and Zammad. It automates the following processes:

1. Fetch Entra Contacts:
2. Create Universal User Object: Extracts key user information, such as email, phone, and name, and formats it for Zammad compatibility.
3. Synchronize with Zammad:
   • Identifies users in Zammad who need updates based on Entra data.
   • Adds new users from Entra to Zammad.
   • Deactivates users in Zammad if they are no longer in Entra.

Key Features

• Dynamic Matching: Compares contacts from Entra with existing Zammad users based on email and updates records accordingly.
• Efficient Management: Automatically creates, updates, or deactivates Zammad users based on their status in Entra.
• Custom Fields: Supports custom field mapping, ensuring enriched user profiles in Zammad.

Setup Instructions

1. Microsoft Entra Integration:

   • Ensure proper API permissions for accessing Entra contacts.
   • Configure Microsoft OAuth2 credentials in n8n.

2. Zammad Integration:

   • Set up Zammad API credentials with appropriate access rights.
   • Customize the workflow to include additional fields or map existing fields as needed.

3. Run Workflow:

   • Trigger the workflow manually or set up an automation schedule (e.g., daily sync).
   • Review created/updated/deactivated users in Zammad.

Use Cases

• IT Administration: Keep your support system in sync with the organization’s Entra data.
