What it does

Classifies every incoming conversation into a known issue theme the instant it arrives, then tags, prioritizes, and assigns it to the right team automatically so agents skip manual triage on repeat issues.

When to use it

Use it when a large share of inbound volume is recurring, well-understood issues that should route themselves. It frees agents to focus on novel conversations rather than re-sorting the same problems daily.

How it works

  1. 1An Intercom webhook fires on each new inbound conversation.
  2. 2The flow embeds the opening message and matches it against stored theme fingerprints in Postgres, returning the best theme and a confidence score.
  3. 3A branch evaluates whether confidence clears the auto-route threshold.
  4. 4If confident, it applies the theme's tag, sets the theme's default priority, and assigns the conversation to the owning team in Intercom.
  5. 5If not confident, it tags the conversation "needs-triage" and leaves it in the manual review inbox.
  6. 6The classification result and confidence are logged to Postgres to refine future routing.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect IntercomConversations, contacts, articles.

    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  3. 3
    Connect PostgresAny Postgres URL — query, write, migrate.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
