The problem it solves

Every time a customer asks a how-to question, the answer should probably live somewhere your whole team can find later. But copying those answers into a knowledge base by hand rarely happens, so the same questions get answered over and over.

Who it fits

Customer support teams and SaaS companies who want their knowledge base to reflect real customer questions.

How it works

  1. The automation fetches all tickets from Zendesk
  2. Tickets tagged as how-to are filtered out from the rest
  3. Requester details are pulled in for context
  4. Each ticket is placed or updated in a Google Sheets knowledge base without creating duplicates
What you get

Support answers already waiting in your knowledge base

You keep your knowledge base updated automatically with how-to questions pulled straight from your support tickets.

What you get

An up-to-date Google Sheets knowledge base built from real customer how-to tickets.

What you need

A Zendesk account and a Google Sheets account.

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.
