Ticket Ingestion & AI Triage

Intelligent ticket classification and routing powered by NLP

The Ticket Ingestion & AI Triage process area is the front door of your MSP's service operations. Every ticket — whether it arrives via email, client portal, chat, phone, or API integration — is captured, normalized, and immediately analyzed by the AI triage engine.

Using natural language processing (NLP), the system classifies each ticket by category, priority, urgency, and complexity within seconds. It identifies the affected client, maps to the correct SLA tier, and determines whether the issue matches known error patterns or requires human intervention.

The AI routing engine then assigns the ticket to the optimal technician based on skill match, current workload, shift schedule, and historical resolution success rates — ensuring every issue reaches the right hands at the right time.

How It Works

1

Ingest

Tickets arrive via email, portal, chat, phone, or API. The system normalizes all inputs into a unified ticket format.

2

Classify

NLP engine analyzes the ticket text to determine category, priority, urgency, and affected systems.

3

Score

AI assigns a confidence score and checks against known error database for potential auto-resolution matches.

4

Route

Smart routing assigns the ticket to the best-fit technician based on skills, workload, and SLA requirements.

5

Monitor

SLA timers start automatically. Predictive breach detection monitors resolution progress in real time.
