Intelligent Slack Ticket Generation and Management Workflow

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow automatically captures user help messages containing the “ticket” emoji from a specified Slack channel. Leveraging AI models, it intelligently generates ticket titles, summaries, priorities, and resolution suggestions. It also automatically detects duplicate tickets to prevent redundancy. Finally, all ticket information is synchronized with the Linear support system. The fully automated process significantly enhances the efficiency and accuracy of ticket handling.

Core Problems Addressed

  • Automates identification and filtering of user help requests in Slack, eliminating manual oversight;
  • Utilizes AI to intelligently parse user issues and rapidly generate structured ticket content, reducing manual workload;
  • Prevents duplicate ticket creation, improving ticket management quality;
  • Synchronizes ticket data in real-time with the professional project management tool Linear, enabling seamless collaboration.

Application Scenarios

  • Customer service teams receiving user feedback and help requests via Slack can achieve automatic ticket creation and categorization;
  • Technical support departments can quickly organize and process user incident reports;
  • Product teams can gather user feedback and respond promptly;
  • Any team communicating through Slack that requires efficient task or issue management.

Main Process Steps

  1. Scheduled Trigger: Periodically query the specified Slack channel for the latest messages tagged with the “ticket” emoji using the Schedule Trigger node;
  2. Message Parsing and Filtering: Retrieve message details, extract key information, and merge with existing ticket descriptions in Linear to avoid duplicates;
  3. Determine Ticket Creation: Check if the message ID already exists in Linear ticket descriptions to decide whether to create a new ticket;
  4. AI Intelligent Processing: Invoke the OpenAI ChatGPT model to automatically generate the ticket title, summary, priority, and debugging suggestions based on the user message;
  5. Ticket Creation: Format the AI-generated content and create a new ticket via the Linear API;
  6. Result Feedback and Archiving: Save the ticket link and metadata for easy subsequent tracking and management.
