What it does

When your team ships or edits a help article, this workflow looks backward at recently resolved support tickets and surfaces the ones that the new knowledge would have deflected to self-serve. It hands support leads a ranked list of "these questions are now answered in the docs" so they can update macros, triage flows, and the help center.

When to use it

Run it whenever a knowledge base gets a meaningful update and you want to prove (and act on) the deflection impact instead of guessing. Ideal for support ops measuring docs ROI and tightening their self-serve funnel.

How it works

  1. 1A Confluence page-published or page-updated event fires the trigger.
  2. 2The flow pulls the changed article's title and body as the new knowledge.
  3. 3It fetches Zendesk tickets closed in the last 30 days.
  4. 4An LLM scores each ticket on whether the updated article would now fully answer it, returning a confidence and the matching section.
  5. 5A logic step keeps only high-confidence matches above the threshold.
  6. 6A ranked candidate list with ticket links and matched anchors is posted to the support Slack channel.
