What it does

When a Zendesk ticket is created, the workflow finds the most similar open ticket and, if confidence is high, sends a merge suggestion to a Slack triage channel with both ticket links. A human clicks approve, and only then are the tickets merged in Zendesk.

When to use it

Use it when you want duplicate clustering but aren't comfortable auto-merging. The Slack approval keeps a person in the loop while still surfacing dupes within seconds of creation.

How it works

  1. 1A new Zendesk ticket triggers the flow.
  2. 2OpenAI generates an embedding and a one-line summary of the issue.
  3. 3Postgres returns the closest open ticket by vector distance.
  4. 4A logic step compares the score against a high-confidence threshold.
  5. 5If matched, Slack posts the candidate pair with summaries and an Approve button.
  6. 6On approval, Zendesk merges the new ticket into the canonical one and adds an internal note.
