TICKET MANAGEMENT

Deflect Intercom how-to questions to docs instead of filing bugs

Classifies Intercom conversations and, for how-to questions (not bugs), finds the most relevant Notion help doc and replies with it, only escalating to a human when no doc matches.

What it does

The mirror image of bug promotion: for conversations that are *how-to questions* rather than defects, it surfaces the best-matching Notion documentation and drafts a reply, so support deflects answerable questions instead of clogging the bug pipeline. True bugs are routed elsewhere; unanswerable questions go to a human.

When to use it

When a large share of inbound tickets are usage questions already covered by your docs, and you want to auto-answer those while keeping real bugs separate.

How it works

  1. 1A new Intercom conversation arrives in the support inbox (trigger).
  2. 2An LLM classifies it as `how-to`, `bug`, or `other`.
  3. 3A branch routes only `how-to` conversations forward.
  4. 4The question is matched against your Notion help-center pages by content similarity.
  5. 5If a confident doc match is found, a reply linking the page is drafted in Intercom for an agent to send.
  6. 6If no doc clears the confidence threshold, the conversation is assigned to the human support queue with a note explaining the gap.
