Turn a complex Zendesk ticket into a clear escalation draft

Give a teammate the ticket facts and the decision you need in one reviewable draft.

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

Escalations take extra effort when you need to summarize the issue and explain what help is needed.

  • Summarize available ticket details for an internal handoff.
  • State the decision or assistance requested.
  • Keep the escalation message in draft until reviewed.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zendesk and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations and provide its name and prompt.
  • 3In one instruction, provide the internal recipient, escalation criteria, and the decision to request in the draft.
  • 4Pick the New Zendesk Ticket trigger and choose where reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real ticket and verify the recipient and summary.

Questions about this workflow

Can it choose who should receive the escalation?

Specify a recipient or a rule that can be resolved from available ticket information. Otherwise Notis should report that the recipient is missing.

Is the message sent automatically?

No. The action creates a draft for review.
