accountname = "myzendeskaccount"
}

Cause

The example in Terraform documentation shows Zendesk as an option in addons but does not elaborate on how to send the accountName parameter.

Solution

The accountName can be added by using the following Terraform syntax:

resource "auth0_client" "zendesk" {
name = "ZenDesk"
description = "Zendesk"
app_type = "zendesk"
addons {
    zendesk = {
      "accountName" = "myzendeskaccount"
    }
}
}
