Automatically convert customer emails into support tickets, notify your team via Slack, and use AI to assign priority scores based on urgency indicators.

Workflow Steps

1

Gmail

Monitor inbox for new emails

Set up n8n to watch a dedicated support email address (like support@company.com) for new incoming messages. Configure the Gmail node to trigger whenever a new email arrives with specific labels or in certain folders.

2

OpenAI GPT-4

Analyze email for urgency and priority

Send the email content to OpenAI's API to extract key information: customer sentiment, issue type, and urgency level (1-10 scale). Use a prompt that identifies keywords like 'urgent,' 'down,' 'broken,' or 'ASAP' to assign priority scores.

3

Linear

Create support ticket with AI metadata

Automatically create a new ticket in Linear (or Jira/Monday.com) with the email subject as title, body as description, and attach the AI-generated priority score and issue category as labels or custom fields.

4

Slack

Send priority-based team notification

Post a message to your support team's Slack channel with ticket details. For high-priority issues (score 7+), send to a separate urgent channel and tag specific team members using @channel or individual mentions.
