Automate support ticket reporting

A clear backlog digest in #support every morning — SLA breaches, aging tickets, and who's overloaded — before anyone opens Zendesk.

SupportLeadership

Reporting on the support backlog by hand means pulling open tickets, spotting SLA breaches, and writing it up — before stand-up, every morning.

Relay.app writes the report so no one hand-counts the queue at 9 AM: every weekday it pulls open tickets from Zendesk, Claude flags SLA breaches and aging buckets, the support lead gives a quick review, and the digest posts to #support before stand-up.

Here's how it works, step by step

Every weekday at 9 AM, the backlog report runs itself

  • Every weekday morning at 9 AM in your team's timezone, the workflow fires on its own — before the support stand-up.
  • No one has to remember to open Zendesk and hand-count the queue.
Prefer a different start? This also runs from:

Pull every open ticket from Zendesk and flag SLA risks with AI

  • Relay.app connects to Zendesk and pulls every open ticket — status, priority, assignee, last reply, and SLA timer.
  • Claude sorts them into aging buckets, flags SLA breaches and tickets with no reply in 24h+, and tallies open load by assignee.
Don't use Zendesk? This also runs from:

Draft the backlog digest, review it, and post to Slack

  • Claude turns the analysis into a Slack-ready digest — open count and day-over-day change, SLA breaches, the oldest tickets, and load by assignee.
  • Before it lands, Relay.app DMs the support lead for a quick edit or sanity check.
  • Once approved, the digest posts to #support so the queue is clear before anyone touches it.
Prefer a different setup? Try:

Append a copy for backlog trend tracking

  • The same digest gets appended as a row in a running "Support Backlog" Google Sheet, so the support lead can chart open count, SLA breaches, and aging week over week.
  • Over a few weeks it turns into a clear trend line — whether the backlog is growing, where SLA breaches cluster, and who's consistently overloaded.

What is Relay.app?

Relay.app is the easiest way to automate with AI across 200+ popular apps, with fine-grained control over what each workflow can access and do.

Describe what you want and Relay.app's AI builds the workflow for you. But if you like to tinker, you'll love using the visual editor. It's fast, opinionated, intuitive, and feels nothing like wiring diagrams.
