Automatically evaluate customer support tickets for urgency and complexity, prioritize them intelligently, and generate initial solution recommendations for faster resolution.

Workflow Steps

1

Zendesk

Capture new ticket details

Configure Zendesk trigger for new ticket creation. Capture ticket content, customer tier, product/service affected, reported issue category, and customer history. Set up webhook to send this data to external processing system when new tickets arrive.

2

OpenAI API

Analyze ticket urgency and complexity

Send ticket data to GPT-4 with prompt: 'Analyze this support ticket for: Urgency (1-5), Complexity (1-5), Customer Impact (1-5), Required Expertise Level. Classify issue type and suggest priority queue. Provide reasoning for each score.' Request structured JSON output for automated processing.

3

OpenAI API

Generate initial solution recommendations

Follow up with second API call: 'Based on this ticket analysis, provide: 3 potential solutions ranked by likelihood of success, estimated resolution time for each, required resources/tools, escalation triggers. Format as actionable steps for support agents.' Include relevant knowledge base links.

4

Zapier

Update ticket priority and assignment

Process AI analysis results through Zapier. Update Zendesk ticket priority based on AI urgency score, assign to appropriate skill-based queue, add AI-generated tags for issue type and complexity. Set SLA based on priority and complexity combination.

5

Zendesk

Add solution recommendations as internal note

Create internal note in ticket with AI-generated solution recommendations, complexity analysis, and suggested approach. Format for easy agent consumption with clear action items, estimated times, and escalation criteria. Notify assigned agent of new prioritized ticket.
