Key Features and Highlights

This workflow automates the retrieval of "unassigned tickets" from the Zendesk customer service system, formats the ticket status and subject, and periodically pushes the information to a designated Slack channel. By automating scheduled queries and message delivery, it significantly enhances the customer support team's responsiveness and collaboration efficiency in handling pending tickets.

Core Problems Addressed

In traditional customer service ticket management, unassigned tickets are prone to being overlooked, leading to delayed responses and diminished customer experience. This workflow automatically identifies all unassigned tickets with statuses other than "pending" and delivers real-time notifications to the team communication tool Slack, ensuring relevant personnel promptly monitor and address these tickets.

  • Preventing ticket backlog through scheduled reminders, thereby improving customer response efficiency

Main Process Steps

  1. Automatically trigger the workflow daily at 16:30 via a Cron scheduler
  2. Call the Zendesk API to query all tickets that are unassigned and have a status other than "pending"
  3. Use a Function node to format ticket details (ID, status, subject, and URL) into Slack message text
  4. Send the formatted message to a specified Slack channel (e.g., “jarvis-test”)
  5. Support manual triggering for on-demand checks of unassigned tickets
