Quick start
1
Add the action
Add “Build Message” to any workflow where you have ticket data available.
2
Write clear instructions
Be specific about what you want. For example:
- “Create a friendly update for the customer about their ticket status”
- “Write a brief internal summary of what was done on this ticket”
- “Generate a polite message asking for more information”
3
Choose message type
Select “Customer Facing” for client communications or “Internal” for team messages.
4
Add notification action
Use the generated message with actions like:
- “Notify Ticket’s Contact” for customer messages
- “Add Ticket Note” for internal documentation
- “Notify Internal Team” for team alerts
Setup
Ticket to reference: The action works with any ticket from your workflow trigger or previous actions. Message instructions: Provide clear instructions about what kind of message you want. Examples:- “Create a friendly status update for the customer about their ticket progress”
- “Write a brief internal summary of what was accomplished on this ticket”
- “Generate a polite message asking the customer for more information”
- Customer Facing: Messages that will be sent to clients
- Internal: Messages for your team or internal documentation
The message type decides which downstream action can read the output. “Notify Ticket’s Contact” reads only Customer Facing messages; “Notify Internal Team” and “Add Ticket Note” read only Internal messages. If you send an Internal message to “Notify Ticket’s Contact”, or a Customer Facing message to an internal action, nothing is sent.
