Customer Support

Triage support tickets, draft responses, and escalate issues with Sidekick.

Overview#

Sidekick can help your support team triage incoming tickets, draft responses, and escalate critical issues — with human review at every step.

Scenario: Ticket triage and response#

Step 1: Connect your support tool#

Connect your support platform via custom MCP or webhook integration. Sidekick receives new tickets as they arrive.

Step 2: Define the triage workflow#

When a new support ticket arrives:
1. Classify severity (critical, high, medium, low) based on
   keywords and customer tier
2. For critical tickets: notify #support-urgent in Slack immediately
3. For all tickets: draft a response using our knowledge base
4. Queue the draft for agent review

Step 3: Governance for support#

If draft acceptance drops below 80%, review the rejected drafts and update Sidekick's instructions.

warning Always require human approval before sending responses to customers. AI-drafted responses should be reviewed for accuracy and tone.
