Automatically categorize incoming support tickets, generate draft responses using AI, and route to the right team members based on complexity and expertise.

Workflow Steps

1

Zendesk

Capture and trigger workflow

Set up a trigger in Zendesk that fires when new tickets are created. Configure it to send ticket content, subject line, and customer information to the next step via webhook.

2

OpenAI GPT-4

Analyze and categorize ticket

Use GPT-4 to analyze ticket content and classify by category (billing, technical, sales), urgency level (1-5), and required expertise (beginner, expert). Also generate a suggested response draft.

3

Zapier

Route based on AI analysis

Use Zapier's conditional logic to assign tickets to appropriate team members based on GPT-4's categorization. High-urgency technical issues go to senior engineers, billing questions to accounting team, etc.

4

Slack

Notify assigned team member

Send a Slack message to the assigned team member with ticket summary, AI-generated category/urgency, and the draft response. Include quick-action buttons to approve or edit the response.
