Workflow Steps

Categorize and prioritize issues

Use GPT-4 to analyze the email content, categorize the issue type (billing, technical, feature request), determine priority level, and generate a structured ticket description with suggested resolution steps.

Create support ticket automatically

Automatically create a new ticket in Zendesk with the categorized information, assign it to the appropriate team based on issue type, and set the priority level determined by the AI analysis.
