Draft a thoughtful Gmail reply for every new Zendesk ticket

Keep customer replies moving without switching from the ticket to a blank email.

Trigger

New Zendesk Ticket

Triggers when a new ticket is created in a specified Zendesk view.

Action

Create email draft

Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.

Why this helps

Writing the same customer response from scratch takes time and makes follow-up easy to lose.

  • Start with the customer's issue and ticket context already in the draft.
  • Review and edit before sending.
  • Reduce time spent composing routine support replies.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zendesk and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis to draft a Gmail reply using the new ticket details and your response guidelines.
  • 4Pick the New Zendesk Ticket trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real ticket and review the resulting draft.

Questions about this workflow
