  • OutputNotify priority-support Slack channelSlack

What it does

This enriches every inbound Zendesk ticket with account context from Salesforce. It matches the requester's email to a CRM account, reads the plan tier and ARR, and when the account qualifies as VIP it raises the ticket priority, applies a VIP tag, and notifies a priority-support Slack channel so a senior agent claims it quickly.

When to use it

Use this when your highest-value customers need faster response times than the default queue provides. It enforces SLA tiering automatically instead of relying on agents to recognize key accounts by name.

How it works

  1. 1A new Zendesk ticket triggers the flow.
  2. 2The requester email is looked up in Salesforce to fetch account tier and ARR.
  3. 3A branch evaluates whether the account meets the VIP threshold.
  4. 4For VIP accounts, the ticket priority is raised and a VIP tag is applied in Zendesk.
  5. 5A notification with the account name and ticket link is posted to the priority Slack channel.
