Automatically categorize incoming support tickets using AI sentiment analysis, then route them to the right team based on deterministic business rules.

Workflow Steps

1

n8n

Trigger on new support ticket

Set up a webhook or email trigger in n8n to capture new support tickets from your helpdesk system (Zendesk, Freshdesk, etc.)

2

OpenAI

Analyze ticket sentiment and category

Use GPT-4 to analyze the ticket content for sentiment (urgent/normal) and category (billing, technical, sales). Structure the response as JSON for easy parsing.

3

n8n

Apply routing rules

Use n8n's IF/Switch node to apply deterministic business logic: urgent + billing → escalation queue, technical → engineering team, etc.

4

Slack

Notify assigned team

Send formatted notification to the appropriate Slack channel with ticket summary, priority level, and direct link to the ticket
