How do you automatically triage and route support tickets?

To automatically triage and route tickets, use AI or rules to classify each incoming ticket by intent, product area, urgency and sentiment, enrich it with customer and account data, set priority from impact and SLA, and send it to the team or agent with the right skills and capacity. Review misroutes weekly to improve accuracy.

Step by step

  1. Define categories. Keep a short list of intents and product areas that map to teams.
  2. Classify on arrival. AI reads the subject, body and attachments and assigns intent, area, language and sentiment.
  3. Enrich. Add account tier, contract value, open incidents and recent tickets.
  4. Prioritize. Combine impact (how many users, revenue at risk) and urgency (SLA, outage) into a priority.
  5. Route. Assign by skill, language, time zone and current workload, or send to an AI agent if it can resolve it.
  6. Deduplicate. Link tickets that match a known issue to the parent incident or bug.
  7. Learn. Track reassignments and fix the rules or examples behind them.
