Summary:
The “Ticket Summary” feature is great and really saves our agents time.  Many of the tickets we receive come to us with a standard ticket subject line (Shared Tickets from another instance).  When both looking at list of these tickets and reporting on this via Explore, the attribute “Ticket Subject” for these cases does not give us any indication of what the nature of the ticket is (whereas other webform and email tickets you can generally get an idea what the ticket is about from the subject/title alone) .

Right now, for these (and other tickets) we are going into each ticket and clicking on “Ticket Summary” to generate an AI description of that ticket.  Because Ticket Summary is (currently) not a reportable attribute in Zendesk Explore, we are then taking this generated summary and copy/pasting it to a custom field on the ticket (named “AI Summary”) which we can then report on from Zendesk Explore.  

 

If this could be 

1). automatically generated and 

2). a reportable attribute, 

 

this would save us considerable manual (mindless) effort in allowing us to be able to report on this.  To continue painting the picture, we then take all of these AI Summaries and further use AI (outside of Zendesk) for analysis such as “what are the top 10 themes on why people are reached out to us in the last week" say for a bulk of tickets we export for the week.  This analysis can help us better address tickets that are coming in, etc.  


Thank you,

-Matt Russell

Hi Matt-

We solved this by creating an app that automatically summarizes the ticket, and then either updates the subject, or puts it in a custom field. You can find it here.

We, too, would like the Ticket summary reportable in Explore.  We ended up writing our own functionality in AWS for this feature.

This would be quite useful! I wish it was possible today. 


Hi Matt!

We are already working to make the summary available in Explore and I believe this will help with your use case.
 
Thank you again for your feedback and for being a valuable customer with Zendesk.

I upvote this. We share ticket data across departments and having access to the ticket summary in a report provides valuable insight into client interactions for teams outside of technical support.


Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this feedback!
