Label	Prop	Type	Description
Zendesk	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Zendesk app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Trigger Category ID	`categoryId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Custom Subdomain	`customSubdomain`	`string`	For Enterprise Zendesk accounts: optionally specify the subdomain to use. This will override the subdomain that was provided when connecting your Zendesk account to Pipedream.
