Auto-Tag and Route New Tickets to Their Root-Cause Cluster

What it does

Classifies each incoming ticket into one of your established root-cause clusters the moment it's created, applying a tag and routing it to the right group. If the ticket falls into a cluster currently flagged as an active incident, it raises an immediate alert.

When to use it

Use it once you've identified your recurring root-cause clusters and want new tickets sorted automatically, with fast warning when contacts start piling onto a known live issue.

How it works

  1. 1A new-ticket webhook from Zendesk triggers the run.
  2. 2The workflow loads the current root-cause cluster definitions from a Notion reference page.
  3. 3An OpenAI step classifies the ticket into the best-matching cluster, or marks it uncategorized with a confidence score.
  4. 4A logic step branches: low confidence goes to manual triage; a match applies the cluster tag and group via the Zendesk API.
  5. 5If the matched cluster is marked as an active incident, it posts a high-priority Slack alert with the ticket link.
