This action is available for both triggered and scheduled workflows.

Quick start

1

Add to reporting workflow

Add the action to a scheduled workflow that gathers ticket data for executive reporting.
2

Configure reporting period

Set up filters to collect tickets from your desired time period (weekly, monthly, quarterly).
3

Define focus areas

Use custom instructions to specify what aspects to highlight: service quality, response times, recurring issues, etc.
4

Add delivery action

Use “Notify Internal Team” to email the summary to executives or “Add Ticket Note” to save for review.

How it works

This action analyzes ticket data to create executive-level insights:
  1. Analyzes ticket patterns - Reviews ticket volume, types, and resolution trends
  2. Identifies key metrics - Highlights important KPIs like response times and customer satisfaction
  3. Summarizes business impact - Translates technical issues into business language
  4. Provides recommendations - Suggests actionable next steps based on findings
  5. Formats for executives - Creates clear, concise summaries appropriate for leadership consumption

Setup

Data to analyze: Works with tickets from your workflow, typically from a “Find Entities” action that gathers tickets for a specific time period. Custom instructions (optional): Guide the summary focus. For example: “Highlight service quality trends, major incidents, and customer satisfaction metrics for the past month.” Report format (optional): Specify whether you want detailed analysis or high-level overview format.

What you get

After running, you’ll have executive-ready summaries that highlight key business metrics, service delivery insights, and actionable recommendations formatted for leadership consumption.

Common use cases

Generate monthly summaries of service delivery performance, highlighting trends, issues, and improvements for executive review.
Create business-focused summaries of major incidents, including customer impact, resolution time, and lessons learned.
Analyze ticket sentiment and resolution quality to provide executives with customer satisfaction insights and improvement opportunities.
Summarize technician workload, efficiency metrics, and resource allocation recommendations for strategic planning.

Best practices

Use custom instructions to emphasize business outcomes rather than technical details. Highlight customer impact, cost implications, and operational efficiency.
Ensure summaries provide clear next steps and recommendations that executives can act upon, not just data reporting.
Use scheduled workflows to provide regular, consistent reporting cadence that executives can rely on for decision-making.
Tailor language and focus areas based on your specific executive team’s interests and priorities.
Always pair with notification actions to ensure summaries reach the right stakeholders at the right time.
