Process
Discovery & Planning: I, Emmanuel, met with Horizon Tech Solutions on Gmeet to assess their support ticket challenges across email, Slack, and their website. I analyzed ticket data and team feedback to identify bottlenecks, while researching n8n.io’s capabilities to ensure it could centralize and automate their process.
Workflow Design: Using my findings, I designed an n8n.io workflow to pull tickets from multiple platforms into a central dashboard, integrating an AI agent to categorize and respond to common queries while escalating complex issues.
Automation Setup & Testing: Built a draft workflow in n8n.io, creating a system to aggregate tickets and test AI responses with sample data. I ensured seamless integrations with Slack, Gmail, and their website for smooth ticket flow.
Live Testing & Refinement: I deployed the automation for a subset of Horizon Tech’s support team, monitoring its performance with real tickets. Based on their feedback, I fine-tuned the AI responses and escalation rules to improve accuracy.
Branding & Documentation: Customized the AI responses and dashboard in n8n.io to align with Horizon Tech’s branding, ensuring a professional tone. I also created a guide for their team to manage and update the system in the future.
