# dbt_zendesk_source v0.12.0
[PR #53](https://github.com/fivetran/dbt_zendesk_source/pull/53) includes the following updates:
## Breaking changes
- Added field `_fivetran_deleted` to the following models for use downstream:
- `stg_zendesk__ticket`
- `stg_zendesk__ticket_comment`
- `stg_zendesk__user`
- If you have already added `_fivetran_deleted` as a passthrough columns using the `zendesk__ticket_passthrough_columns` or `zendesk__user_passthrough_columns` vars, you will need to remove or alias this field from the variable to avoid duplicate column errors.

## Documentation
- Updated documentation to include `_fivetran_deleted`.

# 🎯 How do I use the dbt package?
## Step 1: Prerequisites
## How do I use the dbt package?
### Step 1: Prerequisites
To use this dbt package, you must have the following:
- A Fivetran Zendesk Support connector syncing data into your destination.
- A Fivetran Zendesk Support connector syncing data into your destination.
- A **BigQuery**, **Snowflake**, **Redshift**, **PostgreSQL**, or **Databricks** destination.

### Databricks Dispatch Configuration
#### Databricks Dispatch Configuration
If you are using a Databricks destination with this package you will need to add the below (or a variation of the below) dispatch configuration within your `dbt_project.yml`. This is required in order for the package to accurately search for macros within the `dbt-labs/spark_utils` then the `dbt-labs/dbt_utils` packages respectively.
```yml
dispatch:
- macro_namespace: dbt_utils
search_order: ['spark_utils', 'dbt_utils']
```
## Step 2: Install the package
### Step 2: Install the package
Include the following zendesk_source package version in your `packages.yml` file **only if you are NOT also installing the [Zendesk Support transformation package](https://github.com/fivetran/dbt_zendesk)**. The transform package has a dependency on this source package.
> TIP: Check [dbt Hub](https://hub.getdbt.com/) for the latest installation instructions or [read the dbt docs](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/package-management) for more information on installing packages.
```yaml
packages:
- package: fivetran/zendesk_source
version: [">=0.11.0", "<0.12.0"]
version: [">=0.12.0", "<0.13.0"]
```
## Step 3: Define database and schema variables
### Step 3: Define database and schema variables
By default, this package runs using your target database and the `zendesk` schema. If this is not where your Zendesk Support data is (for example, if your zendesk schema is named `zendesk_fivetran`), add the following configuration to your root `dbt_project.yml` file:

```yml
vars:
zendesk_database: your_destination_name
zendesk_schema: your_schema_name
```
## Step 4: Disable models for non-existent sources
### Step 4: Disable models for non-existent sources
This package takes into consideration that not every Zendesk Support account utilizes the `schedule`, `domain_name`, `user_tag`, `organization_tag`, or `ticket_form_history` features, and allows you to disable the corresponding functionality. By default, all variables' values are assumed to be `true`. Add variables for only the tables you want to disable:

### Add passthrough columns
#### Add passthrough columns
This package includes all source columns defined in the macros folder. You can add more columns from the `TICKET`, `USER`, and `ORGANIZATION` tables using our pass-through column variables, which will persist these custom fields to the `stg_zendesk__ticket`, `stg_zendesk__user`, and `stg_zendesk__organization` models, respectively.

These variables allow for the pass-through fields to be aliased (`alias`) and casted (`transform_sql`) if desired, but not required. Datatype casting is configured via a sql snippet within the `transform_sql` key. You may add the desired sql while omitting the `as field_name` at the end and your custom pass-through fields will be casted accordingly. Use the below format for declaring the respective pass-through variables:

### Mark Former Internal Users as Agents
#### Mark Former Internal Users as Agents
If a team member leaves your organization and their internal account is deactivated, their `USER.role` will switch from `agent` or `admin` to `end-user`. This will skew historical ticket SLA metrics, as we calculate reply times and other metrics based on `agent` or `admin` activity only.

To persist the integrity of historical ticket SLAs and mark these former team members as agents, provide the `internal_user_criteria` variable with a SQL clause to identify them, based on fields in the `USER` table. This SQL will be wrapped in a `case when` statement in the `stg_zendesk__user` model.

#### Change the build schema
By default, this package builds the zendesk staging models within a schema titled (`<target_schema>` + `_zendesk_source`) in your target database.
