  title: Zendesk Upsert User by Email
  summary: Find a user by email and update them if found, otherwise create a new user.
  description: >-
    A common identity-management pattern for Zendesk Support. The workflow
    searches for a user by email, then branches: when a match is found it updates
    the existing user, and when no match is found it creates a new end user.
    Request bodies use the documented {user:{...}} envelope and every step spells
    out its request inline so the flow can be read and executed without opening
    the underlying OpenAPI description.
