Nightly backfill: categorize and tag any untagged support tickets
Runs on a schedule to find Zendesk tickets that slipped through without a category tag, classifies each one, applies tags in bulk, and reports the run summary to Slack.

What it does
This scheduled job sweeps for tickets that were created without a proper category tag (manual entries, email passthroughs, or items created while live triage was down) and backfills them. Each untagged ticket is classified and tagged, then a digest of how many tickets were processed and their category breakdown is posted to Slack.
When to use it
Use this as a safety net alongside real-time triage so no ticket stays uncategorized. It is also useful for the first cleanup pass when adopting a new tagging taxonomy across an existing backlog.
How it works
- 1A daily schedule triggers the workflow overnight.
- 2An action searches Zendesk for tickets missing a category tag within the lookback window.
- 3A logic step loops over each untagged ticket found.
- 4OpenAI classifies each ticket into a category.
- 5An action applies the category tag back to the ticket in Zendesk.
- 6The output posts a run summary with counts per category to Slack.
