# Zammad credentials

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

* [Zammad](/integrations/builtin/app-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.zammad.md)

## Prerequisites <a href="#prerequisites" id="prerequisites"></a>

* Create a hosted [Zammad](https://zammad.com/) account or set up your own Zammad instance.
* For token authentication, enable **API Token Access** in **Settings > System > API**. Refer to [Setting up a Zammad](https://admin-docs.zammad.org/en/latest/system/integrations/zabbix.html?#setting-up-a-zammad) for more information.

## Supported authentication methods <a href="#supported-authentication-methods" id="supported-authentication-methods"></a>

* Basic auth
* Token auth: Zammad recommends using this authentication method.

## Related resources <a href="#related-resources" id="related-resources"></a>

Refer to [Zammad's API Authentication documentation](https://docs.zammad.org/en/latest/api/intro.html?#authentication) for more information about authenticating with the service.

## Using basic auth <a href="#using-basic-auth" id="using-basic-auth"></a>

To configure this credential, you'll need:

* A **Base URL**: Enter the URL of your Zammad instance.
* An **Email** address: Enter the email address you use to log in to Zammad.
* A **Password**: Enter your Zammad password.
* **Ignore SSL Issues**: When turned on, n8n will connect even if SSL certificate validation fails.

## Using token auth <a href="#using-token-auth" id="using-token-auth"></a>

To configure this credential, you'll need:

* A **Base URL**: Enter the URL of your Zammad instance.
* An **Access Token**: Once **API Token Access** is enabled for the Zammad instance, any user with the `user_preferences.access_token` permission can generate an **Access Token** by going to your **avatar > Profile > Token Access** and **Create** a new token.
  * The access token permissions depend on what actions you'd like to complete with this credential. For all functionality within the [Zammad](/integrations/builtin/app-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.zammad.md) node, select:
    * `admin.group`
    * `admin.organization`
    * `admin.user`
    * `ticket.agent`
    * `ticket.customer`
* **Ignore SSL Issues**: When turned on, n8n will connect even if SSL certificate validation fails.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/credentials/zammad.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
