Create repair card from tenant incident SMS reports

Automatically catch incoming tenant incident messages across Webhooks by Zapier, ChatGPT (OpenAI), Twilio, AI by Zapier, Trello, and Zapier Tables. Get tenant replies, create Trello repair work cards, and log support records when message body received, sender phone matches, or urgency flags appearβ€”so you can avoid manual triage.

How this automation prioritizes repairs your team can dispatch

When tenant incident SMS content arrives through a webhook, delays can stall repairs and frustrate tenants. This automation creates a tenant reply and a prioritized Trello work card, then generates structured support recordsβ€”so your team can track SLA progress.
