What it does

Forecasting breaches is only useful if someone is actually rostered to catch them. This workflow compares the count and weight of tickets projected to breach in each upcoming shift against who is actually on the Google Calendar for that window, and raises an alert when the math doesn't work.

When to use it

Use it when staffing is set days ahead but ticket volume is volatile — so you can pull in an extra agent or extend a shift before a quiet roster collides with a heavy queue.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule runs each evening for the next 24 hours of shifts.
  2. 2Pull open tickets from Zendesk and project how many will breach in each upcoming shift window.
  3. 3Read the support team's Google Calendar to count scheduled agents and their hours per window.
  4. 4Compare projected breach load to available capacity for each window.
  5. 5Branch — only windows where forecast load exceeds capacity continue.
  6. 6Post a staffing-gap alert to Slack naming the shift, the projected breaches, and the headcount shortfall.
