CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Log tickets a self-serve doc would have deflected

When a ticket is solved, checks whether an existing help article already answered it and logs a deflection-missed record to Postgres so you can see which docs to surface earlier.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • OutputInsert deflection-missed row in PostgresPostgreSQLPostgres

What it does

When an agent solves a Zendesk ticket, this workflow asks whether the customer's question was already answered by an existing Confluence article. If yes, it records a structured "deflection would have worked" row in Postgres: the topic, the article that matched, and how confident the match was. Over time this builds a dataset of avoidable tickets you can act on.

When to use it

Use this to quantify your self-serve gap. It is not about answering tickets faster — it is about proving which existing docs should have been found by the customer, so you can fix search, placement, or in-product help.

How it works

  1. 1A solved Zendesk ticket fires the trigger.
  2. 2OpenAI summarizes the actual problem the customer had.
  3. 3The flow searches Confluence for an article that covers that problem.
  4. 4A logic step decides whether a strong-enough article existed at ticket time.
  5. 5If it did, the workflow inserts a deflection-missed record into Postgres with topic, matched article URL, and confidence; otherwise it records a no-doc gap.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect ZendeskTickets, queues, knowledge base.
  2. 2
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  3. 3
    Connect ConfluenceSpaces, pages, blueprints.
  4. 4
    Connect PostgresAny Postgres URL — query, write, migrate.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
