How to Convert Data between HTML and Markdown in Zendesk

    During the sync, Zendesk sends data in Markdown and other nodes, such as Azure DevOps, could send data in HTML. Due to format differences, some formatting errors for text, images, lists, tables, links, and comments might appear after the sync.

    You can use Exalate scripts to prevent this.

    Note: This method is an alternative to using stripHtml in Exalate for Azure DevOps. We recommend using this method over stripHtml when syncing Azure DevOps and Zendesk.
