App Builder Recipe: Reduce Repetitive Data Entry for Agents
One small improvement I wanted to make was reducing the amount of information agents had to enter manually while working on tickets.
There are certain details that agents need to update again and again, and even though each update only takes a few seconds, it adds up when you're handling a lot of tickets.
Challenge
The process involved checking the ticket, deciding which information needed to be updated, and then entering the same type of information in multiple places.
I wanted to make this easier without changing the overall ticket workflow.
Approach
I used App Builder to create a simple action-based workflow:
-
Identify the repeated information that agents enter most often.
-
Bring the relevant ticket details into the app so agents don't have to search for them.
-
Provide clear actions for the common updates instead of making agents edit everything manually.
-
Keep the user input minimal so the agent only needs to provide information that can't be determined automatically.
-
Test the workflow with different tickets to make sure the updates were consistent and didn't affect other processes.
