How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does

Watches resolved tickets for root-cause clusters that suddenly surge above their normal rate and escalates them to engineering as actionable bugs. It deduplicates against existing issues so a recurring spike updates one ticket rather than spawning many.

When to use it

Use it to close the loop between support and engineering, so a product defect generating a wave of tickets gets a tracked issue with evidence instead of living only in scattered conversations.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule fires the workflow.
  2. 2It pulls the last 24 hours of resolved Zendesk tickets and clusters them by root cause with OpenAI.
  3. 3A logic step compares each cluster's volume to its rolling baseline and flags statistically notable spikes.
  4. 4For each spike, it searches Linear for an existing matching issue.
  5. 5If none exists, it creates a Linear issue with a summary, impacted ticket count, and example links; if one exists, it appends the new evidence and updated count.
  6. 6It posts a short alert to the support-engineering Slack channel linking the issue.

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 LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  4. 4
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  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.
