Support Ticket System
When an email hits your support inbox, it instantly creates a Trello ticket, emails the customer a confirmation.
What it does
You get instant confirmation replies sent to customers while your support team receives immediate Slack alerts whenever new emails arrive. The system automatically creates structured Trello tickets for every incoming message in your designated inbox.
Step by step
- Configure the Gmail trigger to watch a specific label or inbox folder for new messages.
- Map the incoming email subject and body fields directly to Trello card title and description.
- Set up the Slack notification payload with the ticket URL and customer email address.
Where the LLM does the work
- Generate a professional, empathetic confirmation reply template that adapts to different customer tones.
- Extract key entities like order numbers or product names from unstructured email text for better ticket categorization.
- Summarize long email threads into concise bullet points for the Trello card description.
Watch out for
Slack notifications might overwhelm the team if not filtered properly so configure specific keywords to trigger alerts.

The agent brief
Everything your agent needs, including the gotchas. Copy it and go.
You are helping me build the following AI agent workflow. ## Goal Support Ticket System: When an email hits your support inbox, it instantly creates a Trello ticket, emails the customer a confirmation. ## Specification - What it does: You get instant confirmation replies sent to customers while your support team receives immediate Slack alerts whenever new emails arrive. The system automatically creates structured Trello tickets for every incoming message in your designated inbox. - Trigger: Triggered by an event (Event · on new email) - Autonomy: Fully hands-off - Expected setup effort: about an afternoon - Tools/services involved: - Gmail: Trigger and send confirmation emails - Trello: Create support tickets as cards - Slack: Notify team of new tickets ## Known pitfalls, handle each one explicitly in your implementation 1. Slack notifications might overwhelm the team if not filtered properly so configure specific keywords to trigger alerts. ## Reference implementation https://n8n.io/workflows/7220 (workflow template) Fetch and inspect this before building. If it matches my stack, adapt it; if not, rebuild the pattern with my tools. ## Process requirements 1. Before building: ask me which of the listed tools I actually use and what my platform is (n8n / Make / code / other). Do not assume. 2. Adapt the pattern to my answers; do not force the reference stack. 3. Address every pitfall above; tell me how you handled each. 4. Provide a test plan I can run before letting this touch real data. 5. Ask before any step that sends messages, modifies data, or spends money.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a different Email than Gmail?
Yes. Gmail is only the example email in this recipe. The same flow works with Brevo, KlickTipp, Lemlist and Mailchimp. Swap the email connection and keep the rest of the setup as written.
