TICKET MANAGEMENT

Duplicate-Spike Detector that Escalates Clustered Tickets to PagerDuty

Watches a Postgres ticket stream and, when many near-identical tickets land in a short window, treats the burst as one incident: it picks a canonical ticket, links the siblings.

What it does

This workflow turns a sudden burst of duplicate tickets into a single actionable incident. A webhook feeds new tickets in real time; when the rate of near-identical tickets spikes past a threshold inside a rolling window, the workflow declares a cluster, elects a canonical ticket, links the siblings, and escalates to on-call so a flood of separate reports becomes one page instead of many.

When to use it

When duplicate volume itself is the signal — an outage that generates dozens of identical tickets in minutes. Use it to collapse that noise into one incident and reach on-call fast, rather than letting agents triage the same report repeatedly.

How it works

  1. 1A ticket webhook fires on each new ticket.
  2. 2OpenAI embeds the ticket and a Postgres window query counts recent near-identical siblings.
  3. 3A logic gate checks whether the cluster size and similarity cross the spike threshold within the rolling window.
  4. 4OpenAI elects a canonical ticket and writes an incident summary spanning the cluster.
  5. 5Postgres records the canonical-to-sibling links for the cluster.
  6. 6PagerDuty receives a single escalation carrying the canonical ticket and cluster size.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  2. 2
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  3. 3
    Connect PostgresAny Postgres URL — query, write, migrate.
  4. 4
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  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.
