What it does

Incoming support emails to a shared Gmail address are read by an LLM that determines the topic, customer sentiment, and urgency. Each email becomes a Zendesk ticket that already carries the right tags, a priority, and a drafted first-response suggestion stored as an internal comment, so the assigned agent starts from a head start instead of a blank screen.

When to use it

Use this when support still lives partly in email and tickets are created by hand. It bridges the inbox to your helpdesk and applies consistent triage rules across every message.

How it works

  1. 1A new email in the shared Gmail support label triggers the flow.
  2. 2OpenAI classifies topic, sentiment, and urgency and drafts a suggested reply.
  3. 3A logic step maps urgency + sentiment to a Zendesk priority value.
  4. 4A Zendesk ticket is created with the email body, tags, and mapped priority.
  5. 5The drafted reply is attached as an internal comment for the agent to review and send.
