Automatically route and respond to customer inquiries using Claude's AI on AWS Lambda, scaling support without hiring more agents.

Workflow Steps

1

AWS Lambda

Set up serverless function

Create a Lambda function that triggers when new support tickets arrive via webhook from your helpdesk system (Zendesk, Intercom, etc.). Configure environment variables for Claude API credentials and set memory to 1GB for optimal performance.

2

Claude (Anthropic)

Analyze and categorize inquiries

Use Claude's API to analyze incoming support tickets, categorize them by urgency and type (billing, technical, general), and determine if they can be auto-resolved or need human escalation. Include your company's knowledge base in the prompt for accurate responses.

3

AWS DynamoDB

Store conversation context

Save conversation history and customer context in DynamoDB to maintain continuity across multiple interactions. This allows Claude to reference previous conversations and provide more personalized responses.

4

Slack

Alert team for escalations

Send Slack notifications to your support team when Claude identifies tickets that require human intervention, including the AI's analysis and suggested priority level. Include a direct link to the ticket for immediate action.
