Smart Charge America

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.

David Laderberg, VP of Sales

Remote

Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.

Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder

SweepBright

Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.

Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO

Digioh

Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.

Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder

Otter.ai

We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.

Allen Lai, Head of Customer Experience

Superhuman

We've been able to scale our operations while staying lean. Zapier lets us do more without needing more people.

Jacob Sirrs, Marketing Operations Specialist

Transform your support ops with Zapier

Elevate customer support automation with Zapier. Route tickets, enforce SLAs, and surface support insights—and that’s just the start.

Ticket routing and triage

Every ticket reaches the right team

Automate ticket routing, triage, and tiered support from the moment a request arrives. Send issues from Zendesk, Intercom, or Freshdesk to the right queue with tags, priority, and customer context attached. Agents spend less time sorting and more time resolving.

Lead generation and management

Intelligent ticket assignment

Route each new case by product, issue type, or customer segment, so the right agent gets it first in Zendesk or Freshdesk.

Priority-based routing

Send urgent tickets to faster queues based on severity, plan level, or keywords, cutting triage delays for high-impact issues.

Tiered support handoffs

Move complex cases to advanced teams when tags or issue types change, with context carried into the next queue automatically.

Bug report capture

Turn support issues into tracked bug reports by sending flagged tickets to Jira Software Cloud or a shared spreadsheet instantly.

Queue alert workflows

Notify teams in Slack when backlog spikes, VIP tickets land, or queues stall, so support ops can rebalance work quickly.

How it works

Customer support operations automation connects your tools, detects ticket events and support thresholds, and triggers workflows automatically. Route tickets, escalate issues, and track SLAs in real time—without manually triaging queues or updating records.

  1. Step 1

    Connect your tools

    Integrate platforms like Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, helpdesk tools, and knowledge base platforms to centralize support data.

  2. Step 2

    Define triggers

    Set conditions for new tickets, SLA risks, escalation triggers, bug reports, or tier changes.

  3. Step 3

    Automate & measure

    Assign tickets, alert agents, update records, and continuously track support performance improvements automatically.
