Zendesk: Flag Tickets With No KB Coverage

On each new Zendesk ticket, checks whether any help center article covers the question; if not, logs the gap to Linear and pings the docs channel in Slack so coverage grows over…

What it does

Closes the loop on deflection by catching the questions your knowledge base cannot answer yet. When a ticket has no good article match, it becomes a tracked content-gap task instead of a silent miss.

When to use it

Use this alongside auto-drafting when you want to actively improve deflection rate. It surfaces exactly which articles to write next, ranked by how often the gap recurs.

How it works

  1. 1A new Zendesk ticket triggers the flow.
  2. 2The ticket topic is searched against the Help Center and the top match score is captured.
  3. 3A logic branch continues only when no article clears the coverage threshold, meaning the KB likely has a gap.
  4. 4OpenAI summarizes the unanswered question into a proposed article title and one-line scope.
  5. 5A gap issue is created in Linear and a note is posted to the docs channel in Slack so the content team can prioritize it.
