How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerNew Zendesk ticket createdZendeskZendesk
  • ActionClassify ticket against active outage signatureOpenAI
  • LogicBranch: matches an active outage?
  • ActionLink ticket to master ticket and tag with incident referenceZendeskZendesk
  • OutputSend uniform acknowledgment reply to reporterZendeskZendesk

What it does

When something breaks, customers flood Zendesk with the same complaint worded a hundred different ways. This workflow reads incoming tickets, uses the agent to judge which ones describe the same underlying issue, links each duplicate to a designated master ticket, and replies to every reporter with the same status message. Agents then triage one master instead of a wall of repeats.

When to use it

Use during a known or suspected outage when ticket volume spikes and free-text complaints don't share a clean tag. Ideal for support teams who want a single thread of truth and uniform customer messaging without manually merging dozens of tickets.

How it works

  1. 1A new Zendesk ticket triggers the flow.
  2. 2The agent reads the ticket and recent open tickets, classifying whether it matches an active outage signature.
  3. 3A branch routes outage-related tickets versus unrelated ones.
  4. 4Matched tickets are linked to the master ticket as related and tagged with the incident reference.
  5. 5The reporter receives a uniform acknowledgment reply from the master ticket's status.
