What it does

Runs once a night across your open Zendesk backlog rather than per-ticket. It pre-drafts answers for everything the knowledge base can cover and hands the agent team a prioritized digest of what still needs a human in the morning.

When to use it

Use this for teams with an overnight queue and a morning standup. Instead of reacting ticket by ticket, agents arrive to a batch of ready drafts plus a clear list of the genuinely hard tickets.

How it works

  1. 1A nightly schedule triggers the run.
  2. 2Open, unanswered Zendesk tickets from the last 24 hours are fetched.
  3. 3Each ticket is searched against the Help Center; a logic step splits them into covered versus uncovered.
  4. 4For covered tickets, OpenAI drafts a cited reply and attaches it as an internal note in Zendesk.
  5. 5Uncovered tickets are summarized and ranked by age and priority.
  6. 6A morning triage digest of the uncovered tickets is posted to the support channel in Slack.
