How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each new ticket.

The problem it solves

New support tickets come in through Zendesk, but manually figuring out which Pipedrive contact and account owner should handle each one takes time and slows down response. Tickets can sit unassigned while someone tracks down who actually owns the relationship.

Who it fits

Sales and support teams using both Zendesk and Pipedrive who need tickets routed to the right account owner.

How it works

  1. Runs on a set schedule to check for new tickets
  2. Zendesk tickets are matched to a contact by email
  3. Pipedrive is checked for who owns that contact
  4. The ticket is reassigned to that contact owner
  5. If no match is found, a note is added instead
What you get

Tickets landing with the right account owner

Every new support ticket lands with the account owner who already knows that customer, keeping your sales and support teams on the same page.

What you get

Zendesk tickets automatically assigned to the correct Pipedrive contact owner.

What you need

A Zendesk account and a Pipedrive account, using the same email addresses.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
