Generate Help Article from Ticket

What it does

Converts resolved support tickets into knowledge base drafts with steps, screenshots, and troubleshooting tips.

Why I recommend it

Support teams answer the same questions repeatedly. Automation builds self-serve content without extra effort.

Expected benefits

  • Higher ticket deflection
  • Consistent knowledge base updates
  • Captured tribal knowledge
  • Faster onboarding of new agents

How it works

Ticket marked solved -> pull transcript, attachments, tags -> Claude drafts article with headings, steps, and related content -> send to docs team for quick review before publishing.

Quick start

Select a recent ticket, paste content into AI manually, and compare the draft article to your style guide.

Level-up version

Auto-translate, insert GIFs, update FAQ schema, and track which articles reduce ticket volume.

Tools you can use

Support: Zendesk, Intercom, Help Scout

Docs: Notion, Help Center, Zendesk Guide

AI: Claude

Automation: Zapier, Workato

Also works with

Internal IT knowledge bases, developer docs.

Technical implementation solution

  • No-code: Zendesk trigger -> Zapier -> Claude -> create article draft in Guide.
  • API-based: Webhook -> serverless function -> AI -> Git-based docs repo PR.

Where it gets tricky

Ensuring sensitive customer data is redacted, maintaining tone guidelines, and avoiding duplicate articles.
