Producer Endpoints:

Producer endpoints can use endpoint names and associated options described next.

Consumer Endpoints:

Any of the producer endpoints can be used as a consumer endpoint. Consumer endpoints can use Scheduled Poll Consumer Options with a consumer. prefix to schedule endpoint invocation. Consumer endpoints that return an array or collection will generate one exchange per element, and their routes will be executed once for each exchange.

Message header

Any of the options can be provided in a message header for producer endpoints with CamelZendesk. prefix. In principal, parameter names are same as the arugument name of each API methods on the original org.zendesk.client.v2.Zendesk class. However some of them are renamed to the other name to avoid confliction in the camel API component framework. To see actual parameter name, please check org.apache.camel.component.zendesk.internal.ZendeskApiMethod.

Message body

All result message bodies utilize objects provided by the Zendesk Java Client. Producer endpoints can specify the option name for incoming message body in the inBody endpoint parameter.
