dbt_zendesk v0.18.1

PR #174 includes the following changes:

Bug Fix

  • Addressed an issue in which some records in zendesk__sla_policies might erroneously have a null sla_policy_name due to system-generated millisecond-long gaps in timestamps. The package now compares timestamps to the nearest second when selecting valid SLA policy names in int_zendesk__sla_policy_applied.

Under the Hood

  • Updated consistency_sla_policies and sla_count_match data validation tests to account for the above change.

dbt_zendesk v0.18.0

PR #171 includes the following changes:

Breaking Changes (Full refresh required after upgrading)

Schedule Change Support

  • Support for schedule changes has been added. This feature is disabled by default since most users do not sync the required source audit_table. To enable this feature set the variable using_schedule_histories to true in your dbt_project.yml:
vars:
  using_schedule_histories: true
  • Schedule changes can now be extracted directly from the audit log, providing a view of schedule modifications over time.
  • The int_zendesk__schedule_spine model is now able to incorporate these schedule changes, making it possible for downstream models to reflect the most up-to-date schedule data.
    • Note this is only in effect when using_schedule_histories is true.
  • This improves granularity for Zendesk metrics related to agent availability, SLA tracking, and time-based performance analysis.

dbt_zendesk_source changes (see the Release Notes for more details)

  • Introduced the stg_zendesk__audit_log table for capturing schedule changes from Zendesk's audit log.
    • This model is disabled by default, to enable it set variable using_schedule_histories to true in dbt_project.yml.

New Features

  • Holiday support: Users can now choose to disable holiday tracking, while continuing to use schedules, by setting variable using_holidays to false in dbt_project.yml.
  • New intermediate models have been introduced to streamline both the readability and maintainability:
  • Rebuilt logic in int_zendesk__schedule_spine to consolidate updates from the new intermediate models.

dbt_zendesk_source changes (see the Release Notes for more details)

  • Updated the stg_zendesk__schedule_holidays model to allow users to disable holiday processing by setting variable using_holidays to false.

Bug Fixes

  • Resolved a bug in the int_zendesk__schedule_spine model where users experienced large gaps in non-holiday periods. The updated logic addresses this issue.

Decision log

  • Added the following DECISIONLOG entries:
    • Entry addressing how multiple schedule changes in a single day are handled. Only the last change of the day is captured to align with day-based downstream logic.
    • Entry to clarify backfilling of schedule history. The most recent schedule is sourced from stg_zendesk__schedule, while historical changes are managed separately, allowing users to disable the history feature if needed.

Under the Hood

  • Replaced instances of dbt.date_trunc with dbt_date.week_start to standardize week start dates to Sunday across all warehouses, since our schedule logic relies on consistent weeks.
  • Replaced the deprecated dbt.current_timestamp_backcompat() function with dbt.current_timestamp() to ensure all timestamps are captured in UTC.
  • Added seed data for audit_log to enhance integration testing capabilities.
  • Introduced new helper macros, clean_data and regex_extract, to process complex text of the schedule changes extracted from audit logs.
  • Updated int_zendesk__calendar_spine logic to prevent errors during compilation before the first full run, ensuring a smoother development experience.

dbt_zendesk v0.17.0

New model (#161)

  • Addition of the zendesk__document model, designed to structure Zendesk textual data for vectorization and integration into NLP workflows. The model outputs a table with:
    • document_id: Corresponding to the ticket_id
    • chunk_index: For text segmentation
    • chunk: The text chunk itself
    • chunk_tokens_approximate: Approximate token count for each segment
  • This model is currently disabled by default. You may enable it by setting the zendesk__unstructured_enabled variable as true in your dbt_project.yml.
    • This model was developed with the limit of chunk sizes to approximately 5000 tokens for use with OpenAI, however you can change this limit by setting the variable zendesk_max_tokens in your dbt_project.yml.
    • See the README section Enabling the unstructured document model for NLP for more information.

Breaking Changes (Full refresh required after upgrading)

  • Incremental models running on BigQuery have had the partition_by logic adjusted to include a granularity of a month. This change only impacts BigQuery warehouses and was applied to avoid the common too many partitions error some users have experienced when partitioning by day. Therefore, adjusting the partition to a month granularity will decrease the number of partitions created and allow for more performant querying and incremental loads. This change was applied to the following models (#165):

    • int_zendesk__field_calendar_spine
    • int_zendesk__field_history_pivot
    • zendesk__ticket_field_history

  • In the dbt_zendesk_source v0.12.0 release, the field _fivetran_deleted was added to the following models for use in zendesk__document model (#161):

    • stg_zendesk__ticket
    • stg_zendesk__ticket_comment
    • stg_zendesk__user
    • If you have already added _fivetran_deleted as a passthrough column via the zendesk__ticket_passthrough_columns or zendesk__user_passthrough_columns variable, you will need to remove or alias this field from the variable to avoid duplicate column errors.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue in the zendesk__sla_policies model where tickets that were opened and solved outside of scheduled hours were not being reported, specifically for the metrics requester_wait_time and agent_work_time.
    • Resolved by adjusting the join logic in models int_zendesk__agent_work_time_business_hours and int_zendesk__requester_wait_time_business_hours. (#164, #156)
  • Fixed an issue in the zendesk__ticket_metrics model where certain tickets had miscalculated metrics.
    • Resolved by adjusting the join logic in models int_zendesk__ticket_work_time_business, int_zendesk__ticket_first_resolution_time_business, and int_zendesk__ticket_full_resolution_time_business. (#167)

Under the hood

  • Added integrity validations:
    • Test to ensure zendesk__sla_policies and zendesk__ticket_metrics models produce consistent time results. (#164)
    • Test to ensure zendesk__ticket_metrics contains all the tickets found in stg_zendesk__ticket. (#167)
  • Modified the consistency_sla_policy_count validation test to group by ticket_id for more accurate testing. (#165)
  • Updated casting in joins from timestamps to dates so that the whole day is considered. This produces more accurate results. (#164, #156, #167)
  • Reduced the weeks looking ahead from 208 to 52 to improve performance, as tracking ticket SLAs beyond one year was unnecessary. (#156, #167)
  • Updated seed files to reflect a real world ticket field history update scenario. (#165)

dbt_zendesk v0.16.0

🚨 Minor Upgrade 🚨

Although this update is not a breaking change, it will likely impact the output of the zendesk__sla_policies and zendesk__sla_metrics models. PR #154 includes the following changes:

Bug Fixes

  • Addresses the potential issue where the first_reply_time_business_minutes metric within the zendesk__ticket_metrics model would incorrectly calculate the elapsed time when daylight savings occurred. This change involved adjusting a join to reference the difference of two dates as opposed to timestamps. This more accurately applies a cutoff event during daylight savings.
  • Introduction of an additional condition within the filtered_reply_times cte of the int_zendesk__reply_time_combined model to ensure tickets replied to before any schedule begins and no business minutes have been spent is reserved for only the first day the ticket is open. Previously, this condition could be met on days other than the first. This would potentially result in duplicates of sla_event_id's further downstream in the zendesk__sla_policies model.

Under the Hood

  • Addition of integrity and consistency validation tests within integration tests for the zendesk__sla_policies and zendesk__ticket_metrics models.

dbt_zendesk v0.15.0

🚨 Minor Upgrade 🚨

Although this update is not a breaking change, it will significantly impact the output of the zendesk__sla_policies model. PR #146 includes the following changes:

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes the issue of potential duplicate sla_event_id's occurring in the zendesk__sla_policies model.
    • This involved updating the int_zendesk__schedule_spine which was previously outputting overlapping schedule windows, to account for when holidays transcended a given schedule week.
    • This also involved updating the int_zendesk__reply_time_business_hours model, in which two different versions of a schedule could exist due to daylight savings time.
  • Improved performance by adjusting the int_zendesk__reply_time_business_hours model to only perform the weeks cartesian join on tickets that require the further look into the future.
    • Previously the int_zendesk__reply_time_business_hours would perform a cartesian join on all tickets to calculate weeks into the future. This was required to accurately calculate sla_elapsed_time for tickets with first replies far into the future. However, this was only necessary for a handful of tickets. Therefore, this has been adjusted to accurately only calculate the future weeks as far as either the first reply time or first solved time.

Documentation Updates

  • Addition of the reference to the Fivetran prebuilt Zendesk Streamlit report in the README.
  • Updates DECISIONLOG to include a note that the generated time series for ticket SLA policies is limited to a year into the future to maintain performance.

dbt_zendesk v0.14.0

PR #136 includes the following changes:

Bug Fixes

  • Converted the sla_elapsed_time metric within the zendesk__sla_policies model to be reported in minutes to the second as opposed to just the nearest rounded minute. This ensures more accurate reporting.
  • Adjusted the next_reply_time SLA elapsed time metric calculation within the zendesk__sla_policies model to also take into consideration the ticket solved event as a valid SLA event. Previously if a reply time SLA was attached to a ticket and there was no reply, but the ticket was closed then the SLA would be breached. This update ensures a closed event serves as a route for the SLA to be achieved or breached.
  • Updated the int_zendesk__reply_time_combined model to additionally account for the following business hour scenarios as they were erroneously being filtered out in previous versions of the package:
    • A ticket is first replied to outside SLA schedules
    • A ticket has not yet received an agent reply
  • Overhauled the logic used within the int_zendesk__reply_time_combined model to calculate sla_breach_at within the zendesk__sla_policies and upstream models for reply time SLAs. It was found this field was inconsistent with the actual breach/achieve time of an SLA. The overhaul should now ensure reply time SLA is accurate to either be the time of the SLA breach or achieve event.
    • In particular, for first and next reply time SLAs the sla_breach_at will be the time of the breach if the SLA was breached or the time the SLA was achieved if it was not breached.
  • Modified the logic that matches schedule weeks within the int_zendesk__reply_time_combined model when calculating reply time business metrics. Previously long running SLAs would be excluded from the final model, now all reply time business SLAs regardless of sla elapsed duration will be included in the end zendesk__sla_policies model.
  • Included additional logic within the int_zendesk__ticket_schedules model to more accurately select the active default schedule used when calculating the business metrics for the downstream zendesk__ticket_metrics and zendesk__sla_policies models.
    • Previously the model could possibly select a deleted schedule. This update ensures only an active schedule is selected.

Documentation Updates

  • Updated "Zendesk" references within the README to now refer to "Zendesk Support" in order to more accurately reflect the name of the Fivetran Zendesk Support Connector.
  • Added new entries to the DECISIONLOG to highlight nuances and opinionated stances this package uses when calculating business metrics and first_reply_time SLAs.

dbt_zendesk v0.13.1

PR #128 includes the following changes:

Bug Fixes

  • The int_zendesk__schedule_spine model was updated to properly account for schedules that recognized daylight savings time (DST) at one point in time, and then stopped recognizing it at a later date.
    • For example, the Hong Kong timezone originally recognized DST, but then stopped in 1979. The previous versions of this package only recorded the schedule business hours until 1979. This update addresses this bug.
    • Please note, this update will only effect users leveraging schedules.

Under the Hood

  • Included auto-releaser GitHub Actions workflow to automate future releases.
  • Updated the maintainer PR template to resemble the most up to date format.
  • Included a quickstart.yml file to allow for automated Quickstart data model deployments.

Contributors

dbt_zendesk v0.13.0

🚨 Breaking Change (Snowflake users) 🚨

  • We have changed our identifier logic in the initial Zendesk source package to account for group being both a Snowflake reserved word and a source table. Given dbt_zendesk_source is a dependency for this package, Snowflake users will want to execute a dbt run --full-refresh before using the new version of the package. PR #42

Bug Fixes

  • Updates the int_zendesk__schedule_spine model to convert the Holiday schedules into proper UTC values before being used in comparison with the schedule times. This ensures the holidays are properly mapped to schedules regardless of timezones. (PR #126)

🚀 Feature Updates 🚀

  • Added solve_time_in_calendar_minutes and solve_time_in_business_minutes to our zendesk__ticket_metrics model, which calculates calendar and business minutes for when the ticket was in the 'new', 'open', 'hold', or 'pending' status. (PR #123)

🔎 Under the Hood 🔎

  • Updated the seed files and seed file configurations for the package integration tests to align with changes in dbt_zendesk_source made in PR #42 for applying the dbt_utils.star macro.
  • Corrected the folder structure for the .github folder to properly categorize the Community and Maintainer PR templates. (PR #126)

Contributors

dbt_zendesk v0.12.0

This release includes fixes to issues introduced in v0.11.0-v0.11.1 surrounding the incorporation of schedule holidays.

Special thanks to @cth84 and @nschimmoller for working with us to figure out some seriously tricky bugs!

Bug Fix

  • Adjusted the gap-merging logic in int_zendesk__schedule_spine to look forward in time instead of backward. This allows the model to take Daylight Savings Time into account when merging gaps. Previously, schedule periods with different start_time_utcs (because of DST) were getting merged together (PR #114).
    • Also removed the double_gap logic as it was rendered unnecessary by the above change.
  • In all of our intermediate business hour models, adjusted the join logic in the intercepted_periods CTE, where we associate ticket weekly periods with the appropriate business schedule period. Previously, we did so by comparing the ticket's status_valid_starting_at and status_valid_ending_at fields to the schedule's valid_from and valid_until dates. This was causing fanout in certain cases, as we need to take the ticket-status's week_number into account because it is part of the grain of the CTE we are joining (PR #114).
  • Adjusted the way we calculate the end of holidays in int_zendesk__schedule_spine. Previously, we calculated the end of holiday day by adding 24*60*60-1 seconds (making the end the last second of the same day) to the start of the holiday. This previously worked because our downstream joins for calculating business metrics were inclusive (ie >= instead of >). We've updated these joins to be exclusive (ie > or <), so we've set the end of the holiday to truly be the end of the day instead of a second prior (PR #114).
  • Updated int_zendesk__requester_wait_time_filtered_statuses to include the hold status, as zendesk updated on-hold to just hold (PR #114).
  • Updates the logic in int_zendesk__reply_time_combined to bring through the correct sla_event_id records to the end zendesk__sla_policies model. (PR #108)
    • Originally, duplicate sla_event_id records were being persisted because the upstream filtered_reply_times CTE did not include for all scenarios. With this update, the CTE will filter for the following scenarios:
      • Ticket is replied to between a schedule window
      • Ticket is replied to before a schedule window and no business minutes have been spent on it
      • Ticket is not replied to and therefore active. But only bring through the active SLA record that is most recent (after the last SLA schedule starts but before the next)
  • Updated the ordering within the int_zendesk__comments_enriched model logic to also take into account when two comments are posted at the exact same time. Previously, the next comment would be picked arbitrarily. However, we now use the commenter_role as the tie breaker giving preference to the end-user as they will likely be the first commenter when two comments are posted at the exact same time. (PR #114)
  • Modified the requester and agent wait time sla_elapsed_time metric calculations within the zendesk__sla_policies to capture the max running_total_scheduled_minutes record as opposed to the cumulative sum. Max more accurately represents the upstream data as it is presented in a rolling sum in the previous intermediate models. (PR #114)

Dependency Updates

  • The dbt-date dependency has been updated to reflect the recommended latest range, [">=0.9.0", "<1.0.0"]. This will help to avoid upstream dependency conflicts. (PR #113)

Contributors:

dbt_zendesk v0.11.2

Rollback

This PR #110 is a rollback to v0.10.2. We are seeing issues in business minutes and SLA duplicate records following the v0.11.0 release.

dbt_zendesk v0.11.1

Tiny release ahead!

Under the Hood:

  • Removes whitespace-escaping from Jinja code in int_zendesk__field_history_scd. In different whitepace parsing environments, this can jumble code up with SQL comments (PR #106).

Contributors:

dbt_zendesk v0.11.0

Update: There have been bugs identified in this release and we have rolled back this package to v0.10.2 in the v0.11.2 release.

Feature Updates:

  • Added support of the new schedule_holiday table in the schedule_spine intermediate model in order to properly capture how holidays impact ticket schedules and their respective SLAs. (PR #98)
  • Made relevant downstream changes within the following models to capture proper business hour metrics when taking into account holiday schedules: (PR #98)
    • int_zendesk__agent_work_time_business_hours
    • int_zendesk__reply_time_business_hours
    • int_zendesk__reply_time_combined
    • int_zendesk__requester_wait_time_business_hours
    • zendesk__sla_policies
  • Added open_status_duration_in_business_minutes and new_status_duration_in_business_minutes columns to the int_zendesk__ticket_work_time_business and zendesk__ticket_metrics models. These are counterparts to the already existing open_status_duration_in_calendar_minutes and new_status_duration_in_calendar_minutes columns. (PR #97)

Fixes:

  • Added coalesce to 0 statements to the following fields in the zendesk__ticket_metrics model. This is necessary as some tickets may have responses entirely outside of business hours which will not count towards business minute metrics. As such, a coalesce to 0 is more representative to the metric as opposed to a null record: (PR #103)
    • first_resolution_business_minutes
    • full_resolution_business_minutes
    • first_reply_time_business_minutes
    • agent_wait_time_in_business_minutes
    • requester_wait_time_in_business_minutes
    • agent_work_time_in_business_minutes
    • on_hold_time_in_business_minutes
  • Fixed the total_agent_replies field in zendesk__ticket_metrics so the value is derived from public agent comments logic, and also ignores ticket creation comments from an agent, matching the Zendesk definition. (PR #102)

Under the Hood:

  • Leveraged dbt_date.week_start in place of dbt.date_trunc for business hour metrics to more consistently capture the start of the week across warehouses. (PR #98)
  • Start of the week is now consistently set to Sunday. (PR #98)
  • Incorporated the new fivetran_utils.drop_schemas_automation macro into the end of each Buildkite integration test job. (PR #98)
  • Updated the pull request templates. (PR #98)

Contributors:

dbt_zendesk v0.10.2

PR #101 includes the following updates:

Fixes

  • Updated the group variable in the dbt_project.yml to have properly closed quotes within the variable declaration.
  • Adjusted the in_zendesk__calendar_spine to set the return result of dbt.current_timestamp_backcompat() as a variable. This ensures that when the variable is being called within the model it can properly establish a dependency within the manifest.

dbt_zendesk v0.10.1

Bug Fixes

  • Modified the int_zendesk__ticket_schedules model to have the execute statement reference the source schedule table as opposed to the stg_zendesk__schedule model so the package may successfully compile before being run for the first time. (#90)

dbt_zendesk v0.10.0

🚨 Breaking Changes 🚨:

    • dbt.current_timestamp_backcompat
    • dbt.current_timestamp_in_utc_backcompat
  • dbt_utils.surrogate_key has also been updated to dbt_utils.generate_surrogate_key. Since the method for creating surrogate keys differ, we suggest all users do a full-refresh for the most accurate data. For more information, please refer to dbt-utils release notes for this update.
  • Dependencies on fivetran/fivetran_utils have been upgraded, previously [">=0.3.0", "<0.4.0"] now [">=0.4.0", "<0.5.0"].

dbt_zendesk v0.9.1

Bugfix:

  • If doing a dbt_compile prior to dbt_run, it fails at int_zendesk__calendar_spine because the staging model it references is not built yet. This PR changes the intermediate models to reference source tables instead of staging models. (#79)

Contributors

dbt_zendesk v0.9.0

🚨 This includes Breaking Changes! 🚨

🎉 Documentation and Feature Updates

  • Databricks compatibility 🧱 (#74).
  • Updated README documentation updates for easier navigation and setup of the dbt package (#73).
  • Added zendesk_[source_table_name]_identifier variables to allow for easier flexibility of the package to refer to source tables with different names (#73).
  • By default, this package now builds the Zendesk staging models within a schema titled (<target_schema> + _zendesk_source) in your target database. This was previously <target_schema> + _zendesk_staging, but we have changed it to maintain consistency with our other packges. See the README for instructions on how to configure the build schema differently.

Under the Hood

  • Swapped references to the fivetran_utils.timestamp_diff macro with dbt_utils.datediff macro. The dbt-utils macro previously did not support Redshift.

dbt_zendesk v0.8.4

Bug Fix

  • Quick fix on missing logic in the case statement for determining multi-touch resolution metrics.

Contributors

  • @tonytusharjr (#7).

dbt_zendesk v0.8.3

Features

  • This Zendesk Source package now allows for custom fields to be added to the stg_zendesk__ticket model. These custom fields will also persist downstream to the zendesk__ticket_enriched and zendesk__ticket_metrics models. You may now add your own customer fields to these models by leveraging the zendesk__ticket_passthrough_columns variable. (#70)

dbt_zendesk v0.8.2

Fixes

  • It was brought to our attention that the dbt_utils.date_trunc macro only leverages the default arguments of the date_trunc function in the various warehouses. For example, date_trunc in Snowflake for the week argument produces the starting Monday, while BigQuery produces the starting Sunday. For this package, we want to leverage the start of the week as Sunday. Therefore, logic within the business metric intermediate models has been adjusted to capture the start of the week as Sunday. This was done by leveraging the week_start macro within the dbt-date package. (#68)

dbt_zendesk v0.8.1

Fixes

  • The 0.7.1 release of the zendesk package introduced a bug within the zendesk__sla_policy model that caused duplicate sla records via a join condition. This join condition has been modified to leverage the more accurate sla_policy_applied.valid_starting_at field instead of the sla_policy_applied.sla_applied_at which changes for first_reply_time slas. (#67)

dbt_zendesk v0.8.0

🚨 Breaking Changes 🚨

  • The logic used to generate the zendesk__ticket_backlog model was updated to more accurately map backlog changes to tickets. As the underlying zendesk__ticket_field_history model is incremental, we recommend a --full-refresh after installing this latest version of the package. (#61)

Features

  • Addition of the DECISIONLOG.md. This file contains detailed explanations for the opinionated transformation logic found within this dbt package. (#59)

Bug Fixes

  • Added logic required to account for the first_reply_time when the first commenter is an internal comment and there are no previous external comments applied to the ticket. (#59)
  • For those using schedules, incorporates Daylight Savings Time to use the proper timezone offsets for calculating UTC timestamps. Business minute metrics are more accurately calculated, as previously the package did not acknowledge daylight time and only used the standard time offsets (#62).

Under the Hood

  • Updated the incremental logic within int_zendesk__field_history_scd to include an additional partition for ticket_id. This allows for a more accurate generation of ticket backlog records. (#61)
  • Corrected the spelling of the partition field within the cte in int_zendesk__field_history_scd to be partition opposed to patition. (#61)

dbt_zendesk v0.8.0-b1

🎉 dbt v1.0.0 Compatibility Pre Release 🎉 An official dbt v1.0.0 compatible version of the package will be released once existing feature/bug PRs are merged.

🚨 Breaking Changes 🚨

  • Adjusts the require-dbt-version to now be within the range [">=1.0.0", "<2.0.0"]. Additionally, the package has been updated for dbt v1.0.0 compatibility. If you are using a dbt version <1.0.0, you will need to upgrade in order to leverage the latest version of the package.
    • For help upgrading your package, I recommend reviewing this GitHub repo's Release Notes on what changes have been implemented since your last upgrade.
    • For help upgrading your dbt project to dbt v1.0.0, I recommend reviewing dbt-labs upgrading to 1.0.0 docs for more details on what changes must be made.
  • Upgrades the package dependency to refer to the latest dbt_zendesk_source. Additionally, the latest dbt_zendesk_source package has a dependency on the latest dbt_fivetran_utils. Further, the latest dbt_fivetran_utils package also has a dependency on dbt_utils [">=0.8.0", "<0.9.0"].
    • Please note, if you are installing a version of dbt_utils in your packages.yml that is not in the range above then you will encounter a package dependency error.

dbt_zendesk v0.7.1

Fixes

  • Updated logic within int_zendesk__sla_policy_applied to more accurately reflect the sla_applied_at time for first_reply_time sla's. Per Zendesk's documentation the first_reply_time sla is set at the creation of the ticket, even if the sla is applied after creation. (#52)

  • It was found that first_reply_time Zendesk SLA policies can be modified after they are set if the priority of the ticket changes. As such, this resulted in the package providing multiple first_reply_time sla records in the final zendesk__sla_policies output model. As such, now only the latest first_reply_time sla is provided in the final output model. (#52)

Under the Hood

  • Redshift recently included pivot as a reserved word within the warehouse. As such, the pivot CTE within the int_zendesk__field_history_pivot model has been changed to pivots to avoid the Redshift error. (#57)

Contributors

  • @jackiexsun (#52)

dbt_zendesk v0.7.0

🚨 Breaking Changes

  • Fix incremental logic bug introduced in v0.5.0 which caused the zendesk__ticket_field_history model to not be properly incrementally updated. (#44)
    • The above fix resulted in the removal of the valid_from and valid_to fields in the final model.

Bug Fixes

  • Incremental bug fix noted in the Breaking Changes section of the changelog.
  • Updated the logic used to calculate first_reply_time_calendar_minutes and first_reply_time_business_minutes to include first comments made by agents and find the time difference from the first public agent and the ticket created date. This was updated to better align with Zendesk's First Reply Time metric definition. (#50)
  • Fixed the comment metric reference for the total_agent_replies within zendesk__ticket_metrics to accurately map to the count_agent_comments metric (showing all public and non-public comments made by agents) opposed to the count_internal_comments (only non-public comments) metric. (#50)

Features

  • Add the number of ticket handoffs metric as count_ticket_handoffs to the zendesk__ticket_metrics model which is a distinct count of all internal users who have touched/commented on the ticket. (#42)
  • Ticket field history calendar limit variables (#47):
    • Added ticket_field_history_timeframe_years variable to limit the ticket field history model to X number of years (default is 50).
    • Limited by default the last ticket calendar date as it's close date. This highly reduces the query cost of the zendesk__ticket_field_history query and takes advantage of the Zendesk functionality of not being able to change a ticket after the close date.
    • Added ticket_field_history_extension_months variable to extend field history past Y months from ticket close (for reporting purposes).
    • Refer to the README for more details.

Under the Hood

  • Better Postgres incremental strategy within the zendesk__ticket_field_history model to reflect more recent incremental strategies. Similar to the strategy taken in jira__daily_issue_field_history. (#44)
