What it does

When an internal ClickUp ticket is filed, this workflow checks whether the same issue already exists as a customer-facing Zendesk ticket. If it finds a match, it writes a context summary and the Zendesk link into the ClickUp task, connecting engineering work to the customer report it answers.

When to use it

Use this when engineering tracks work in ClickUp but customer reports live in Zendesk, and you want to avoid spawning a parallel engineering ticket for an issue support is already handling.

How it works

  1. 1A ClickUp task-created webhook fires with the new ticket's content.
  2. 2The flow searches Zendesk for open or recent tickets matching the subject and description.
  3. 3OpenAI evaluates the top Zendesk candidates and produces a match decision plus a linked-context summary.
  4. 4A logic step proceeds only when a confident match is returned.
  5. 5The flow comments on the ClickUp task with the matching Zendesk ticket link and summary, flagging it as a possible cross-system duplicate.
