const graphlit = new Graphlit();

const zendeskSubdomain = process.env.ZENDESK_SUBDOMAIN!;
const zendeskToken = process.env.ZENDESK_ACCESS_TOKEN!;

const feed = await graphlit.createFeed({
  name: 'Help Center Articles',
  type: FeedTypes.Zendesk,
  zendesk: {
    type: FeedServiceTypes.ZendeskArticles,
    subdomain: zendeskSubdomain,
    accessToken: zendeskToken,
