This action is essential for keeping detailed records of automated processes, tracking workflow progress, and ensuring all team members can see what’s been done on each ticket. It helps maintain comprehensive documentation without manual effort.
How it works
Step 1: Collect Information
The action takes messages from previous workflow actions (like analysis results, summaries, or status updates) and prepares them as notes.Step 2: Choose Note Type
Based on your settings, it determines what type of note to create:- Internal: For team use only
- Discussion: For collaborative notes
- Resolution: For documenting solutions
- Custom: For specific PSA note types you define
Step 3: Add Context
For internal notes, it automatically includes:- Which workflow created the note
- When it was created
- Optional feedback request link
Step 4: Create the Note
The action adds the note to the appropriate ticket in your PSA system with the correct visibility settings.Setup
Note type: Choose internal (team only), discussion (collaborative), resolution (documenting solutions), or custom types from your PSA. Message source: Takes messages from previous actions like Ticket Triage, Smart Actions, or Build Message. Custom formatting (optional): Tell Neo exactly how to format the notes - change language, adjust length, or modify structure. Feedback requests (optional): Add links asking team members for feedback on automated processes.What you get
After running, you’ll see confirmation that notes were added successfully and a record of what was documented on each ticket.Common use cases
