How it works

From connection to autonomous action in three steps

1

Connect

Connect your Zendesk Support account via OAuth. Grant read access to tickets, users, and organizations, plus write permissions for ticket updates and assignments. Agent connects in under 60 seconds with automatic credential refresh.

2

Ask

Ask questions like 'Which product categories generate the most tickets?' or 'Show me customer satisfaction scores by support tier this quarter' or 'What's our average time to resolution for billing issues?'

3

Act

The agent updates ticket priorities based on account tier and issue urgency, assigns tickets to appropriate agents based on workload and expertise, adds internal notes with context from previous interactions, and escalates cases that exceed SLA thresholds.

AI Agent Access

Your agent doesn't just read tickets — it traces support issues to their source

Read

Agent reads ticket volume and status across all channels, first response and resolution times by agent and priority level, customer satisfaction scores and feedback, SLA compliance metrics, ticket assignment and workload distribution, and custom field data including account tier and product category.

Write

Agent updates ticket priorities and statuses, assigns and reassigns tickets to specific agents or groups, adds internal notes and tags for categorization, merges duplicate tickets, escalates cases to higher support tiers, and triggers macros for common response workflows.

Monitor

Agent monitors tickets approaching or exceeding SLA thresholds, sudden spikes in ticket volume by category or channel, changes in customer satisfaction scores below target levels, unassigned high-priority tickets from enterprise accounts, and agent workload imbalances requiring redistribution.

AI agents query ticket volumes by acquisition channel, correlate resolution times with churn rates, and identify which campaigns generate the most support requests. They can analyze ticket priority levels, category tags, and agent performance, then combine this with customer lifetime value and marketing spend to calculate the true cost of different traffic sources.
