Automatically categorize incoming support tickets using AI, analyze sentiment and urgency, then alert managers for high-priority cases that need immediate attention.

Workflow Steps

1

Zendesk

Capture new support tickets

Set up a webhook trigger in Zendesk that fires whenever a new ticket is created, capturing the ticket content, customer info, and metadata.

2

OpenAI GPT-4

Analyze ticket content and sentiment

Send the ticket content to GPT-4 with a prompt to classify the issue type (technical, billing, general), urgency level (low/medium/high), and customer sentiment (positive/neutral/negative).

3

Zendesk

Auto-assign tickets based on AI analysis

Use Zendesk's automation rules to automatically assign tickets to the appropriate team (technical issues to engineering, billing to finance) and set priority levels based on the AI classification.

4

Slack

Send escalation alerts for urgent cases

For high-urgency tickets or negative sentiment cases, automatically send a detailed alert to the #support-escalations Slack channel with ticket details and AI analysis summary.
