Customer Support

What it does

You stop wasting time on false payment alerts because the AI instantly checks reported issues against your transaction records before creating tickets. It automatically handles valid cases by generating Zendesk tickets and notifying you via Slack while filtering out invalid reports to keep your team focused on real problems.

How it works

When it runs: Triggered by an event · Event · on webhook receipt
How hands-off: Assists you, you do the final step
Setup: An afternoon · about an afternoon
Works with: Webhook, Google Sheets, Azure OpenAI Chat Model, Zendesk, Slack

Tools that fit

api

Webhook : Intake of payment issue data

Services

Google Sheets : Transaction lookup and status updates

Zendesk : Creating support tickets

Slack : Logging context and error alerts

LLM

Azure OpenAI Chat Model : AI escalation decision logic

Watch out for

Webhook payloads may contain malformed JSON so add input validation before passing data to the lookup step.
Google Sheets API rate limits can block the run, implement a retry mechanism with exponential backoff.
Azure OpenAI responses might lack structured output for downstream tools, enforce JSON mode in the model configuration.
Zendesk authentication tokens expire without warning, add logic to refresh or rotate credentials periodically.
