What it does

Converts the steady drip of support requests into roadmap-ready work. It groups incoming tickets by the underlying feature ask, and when enough customers have asked for the same thing, it files a single Linear issue (or bumps the count on an existing one) carrying the demand evidence and real quotes.

When to use it

Use it when valuable product signal is buried in support and never reaches the backlog. It gives PMs a deduplicated, quantified queue of customer-driven requests instead of one-off ticket forwards.

How it works

  1. 1A new Zendesk ticket event triggers the flow.
  2. 2A logic step keeps tickets tagged as requests or marked feature-related.
  3. 3A HuggingFace model embeds the ticket and matches it to an existing request cluster or starts a new one.
  4. 4Logic checks whether the cluster has crossed the demand threshold.
  5. 5When it has, a Linear issue is created or updated with the request count and two representative quotes.
  6. 6The originating Zendesk ticket is linked back to the Linear issue for the support agent.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect ZendeskTickets, queues, knowledge base.
  2. 2
    Connect Hugging FaceModels, datasets, spaces — the open-source hub.
  3. 3
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
