Deploy a custom GPT to analyze incoming support tickets, categorize issues, and automatically route them to the right team members based on expertise and workload.

Workflow Steps

1

ChatGPT (Custom GPT)

Create ticket analysis assistant

Build a custom GPT that analyzes support tickets for issue category (technical, billing, feature request, bug report), urgency level (low/medium/high/critical), required expertise, and estimated complexity. Train it to output structured JSON with category, priority, suggested assignee type, and brief reasoning.

2

Zapier

Process tickets and route assignments

Connect your support email/system to Zapier, then send new tickets to the custom GPT for analysis. Parse the GPT response to extract categorization data, then use Zapier's lookup/filter functions to assign tickets to specific team members based on current workload and expertise matching.

3

Airtable

Track and manage ticket queue

Create an Airtable base with tables for Tickets, Team Members, and Categories. Include fields for Ticket ID, Customer, Issue Description, Category, Priority, Assigned Agent, Status, and Resolution Time. Set up automated views for each team member's queue and dashboard views for managers to monitor workload distribution.
