CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Investigate Emerging Ticket Spikes and Recommend a Response

When a Zendesk tag's ticket volume spikes above its baseline, an agent investigates the cluster, decides whether it's a known issue or a documentation gap.

What it does

This is an agent-driven responder for sudden surges. When one ticket tag jumps well above its normal rate, the agent reads the affected tickets, works out whether customers are hitting a real outage or just missing docs, and takes the right action: draft a help article for a doc gap, or page on-call if it looks like an incident.

When to use it

Use it when ticket spikes catch you off guard and you want triage and a recommendation before a human even logs in. Good for teams balancing knowledge-base maintenance against incident response.

How it works

  1. 1A webhook fires when monitoring detects a tag spiking above baseline.
  2. 2The agent pulls the recent tickets carrying that tag from Zendesk.
  3. 3It reasons over the cluster to classify it as a documentation gap or a live incident.
  4. 4If it's a doc gap, the agent drafts a help-center article and posts it to Slack for review.
  5. 5If it looks like an incident, the agent opens a PagerDuty alert with the ticket evidence and impact summary.
  6. 6Either way, it leaves a summary note back on the originating Slack thread.
