SmartSupport Flow: Auto-Handle IT Requests from Email to JIRA with Slack notification Watch the demo video below: Who’s it for > This workflow is built for lean IT teams, office managers, and business operators who receive support requests via email and want to automate ticket creation, smart AI resolution advice, and seamless communication with both users and internal teams, all without lifting a finger. If your team is tired of manually triaging inbox requests, this AI-powered flow will transform your support handling process. How it works / What it does Trigger on New Email: Uses Gmail Trigger to detect new support request emails. Fetch Email Content: Retrieves the full message body and metadata. Check for Duplication: Skips processing if the email has already been handled (based on READ/UNREAD label). Mark as Read: Updates Gmail to mark the email as processed. Extract Structured Request: Uses the Support Request Reader Agent powered by OpenAI to extract: Request title Request description Requested by Department Category and priority Create Jira Ticket: A main issue is created in Jira using the structured request. Generate AI-Based Solution: Invokes the IT Support Advisor Agent to propose resolution(s). Post Comment to Jira: Adds the suggested solution(s) to the issue as a comment. Notify IT Team: Sends the ticket and context to a Slack channel for visibility and action. (Optional) Send Email to Requester: Currently deactivated. Can be enabled to acknowledge receipt.
