AI That Handles Zendesk Tickets, Not Just Creates More

Stop preprocessing tickets. Start closing them automatically with AI that pulls data, executes actions, and resolves issues.

What if your team could focus on conversations that matter?

Many support teams spend hours each day on repetitive tasks: looking up order statuses, processing standard refunds, and resetting passwords. These are important requests, but they follow predictable patterns that don't require human creativity or judgment.

Real Scenarios

1

Order Tracking Ticket

Customer:

"Where is my order #12345?"

Hay:

Hay reads the ticket → Queries Shopify for order #12345 → Replies with tracking info → Marks ticket solved

→ Zero agent involvement. Ticket resolved in 30 seconds.

Result: Agent saved 3-5 minutes. Customer got instant answer. SLA improved.

2

Refund Request

Customer:

"I want a refund for my order"

Hay:

Hay checks order in e-commerce platform → Verifies refund policy → Processes refund via Stripe → Updates Zendesk with confirmation → Marks solved

→ If order is outside refund window or high-value, escalates to human with context already gathered

Result: Standard refunds handled automatically. Complex cases escalated with full context.

3

Password Reset

Customer:

"I can't log in"

Hay:

Hay triggers password reset → Sends instructions → Confirms customer received it → Marks ticket solved

→ Simple, repetitive task completed without agent time

Result: 2-3 minute ticket becomes 30-second automated resolution.

"But what if the AI makes a mistake?"

Confidence System

Not every ticket is straightforward. Hay knows this. Every response includes a confidence score:

  • 90%
    High confidence: Handle automatically. Standard order tracking, simple refunds, password resets.
  • 70%
    Medium confidence: Enable supervision mode. You approve before it sends.
  • <70%
    Low confidence: Escalate immediately to human with context gathered.

You can adjust these thresholds per ticket type. Refunds? Maybe manual approval. Password resets? Let it run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Hay replace Zendesk or work alongside it?

Hay works alongside Zendesk as an AI layer. Your agents continue using Zendesk exactly as before. Hay monitors incoming tickets, handles routine ones automatically, and escalates complex issues to your team with full context.

Can Hay access our custom Zendesk fields and tags?

Yes. Hay reads all ticket fields, tags, and custom properties. It can also update them based on your rules—applying tags, changing priorities, or filling in custom fields during automation.

What happens if Hay makes a mistake?

Every action is logged in Zendesk with a full audit trail. You can see exactly what Hay did, when, and why. Responses can be rolled back, and you can adjust confidence thresholds to require human approval for certain ticket types.

How long does setup take?

Most teams are live within 1-3 days. Connect your Zendesk account, configure which ticket types to automate, set your confidence thresholds, and Hay starts working. No lengthy implementation project required.
