Xano Support Ticket Router
Receives support tickets via webhook, classifies issues with OpenAI, manages user records in Xano.
founders and execsops and IT teams
What it does
You get support tickets automatically classified by AI so your team can route them correctly. The system checks your user records in Xano to create or update profiles as needed. It then triggers the right escalation rules and returns structured data for immediate action.
Step by step
- Configure the webhook trigger in n8n to accept POST requests with JSON payloads containing ticket details.
- Set up the Xano node credentials using your API key and base URL for authentication.
- Define the output schema in n8n to ensure structured data is returned after processing.
Where the LLM does the work
- Craft a system prompt for the OpenAI model that defines clear categories for support issues like billing, technical, or general inquiry.
- Design few-shot examples within the prompt to help the LLM accurately classify ambiguous ticket descriptions.
- Refine the output format instructions so the LLM returns valid JSON matching your downstream Xano update requirements.
Watch out for
Webhook security is critical for production use, so enable signature verification in both n8n and Xano to prevent unauthorized triggers.

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 Xano Support Ticket Router: Receives support tickets via webhook, classifies issues with OpenAI, manages user records in Xano. ## Specification - What it does: You get support tickets automatically classified by AI so your team can route them correctly. The system checks your user records in Xano to create or update profiles as needed. It then triggers the right escalation rules and returns structured data for immediate action. - Trigger: Triggered by an event (Event · on new ticket via webhook) - Autonomy: Fully hands-off - Expected setup effort: about an afternoon - Tools/services involved: - n8n: Workflow orchestration and agent execution - OpenAI Chat Model: Classifying support issues - Xano Node: Checking user existence and updating records ## Known pitfalls, handle each one explicitly in your implementation 1. Webhook security is critical for production use, so enable signature verification in both n8n and Xano to prevent unauthorized triggers. ## Reference implementation https://n8n.io/workflows/11613 (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 Automation Platform than n8n?
Yes. n8n is only the example automation platform in this recipe. The same flow works with Home Assistant. Swap the automation platform connection and keep the rest of the setup as written.
Want this running in your business?
This is what I do. I design and build AI agents like this one, and keep them running. If you want it set up for your team instead of doing it yourself, get in touch.
Who it's for
Built for founders and execs who need customer support handled without hiring for it.
Ops-IT teams triaging their own internal requests get the same pattern, different queue.
