This feature is now available as part of the Freddy Copilot add-on.


Auto Triage, powered by Freddy, auto-classifies incoming tickets to save agents’ time and effort. Auto Triage learns from existing ticket data to provide ticket field value suggestions to agents for new tickets. 


Auto Triage must be requested for any ticket field you wish to use it with. After the request, models are trained specifically for those fields before Auto Triage can be enabled for your account. Once it is set up and activated, you will begin to receive suggestions for the enabled ticket fields on all tickets.


In this article, we’ll discuss how to set up and manage Auto Triage suggestions for ticket fields. For details on how to use the suggestions, see Using Auto Triage suggestions.


  1. Viewing/Managing default Auto Triage  fields
  2. Request new fields
  3. Enable or disable Auto Triage suggestions
  4. Delete Auto Triage request

Viewing/Managing default Auto Triage fields

In addition to the default ticket field, Priority, you can request auto triage suggestions for additional ticket fields.

  2. Go to Admin > Workflows > Auto Triage. 
  3. Click Request new.
  4. Select the fields you want to enable Auto Triage predictions.
  5. Click Confirm.
  6. This will forward your request to the Freshdesk support team


What happens next?

Once you submit the request, it is processed by Freshdesk’s Data Science team. We will keep you updated on the status via email. Depending on the status of the request, you will see the following tags next to each requested ticket field on the Auto Triage home screen.


Requested

This is displayed when the Freshdesk team is processing your request for Auto Triage suggestions for a particular field. During this time, our team checks if your existing data is sufficient for Auto Triage to learn and make accurate ticket field value suggestions for new tickets.



Insufficient data

In case our team notices that the existing data for a particular ticket field is not enough to make suggestions for new tickets, you will see the ‘Insufficient data’ tag next to the field.


Ready

Once our team approves and processes the request for a new field, the ticket field will see a Ready tag next to it. This indicates that you are ready to enable suggestions for this field. However, the suggestions will not be turned on until you enable it manually.


Enable or disable Auto Triage suggestions

  1. Once a ticket field is marked Ready, you can enable suggestions by clicking on the toggle button next to it.
  2. To automatically apply the field suggestions without manually accepting them, click the 3 dots > Settings > Automatic update check box.
  3. You will now start receiving suggestions for the enabled field for all new incoming tickets.
  4. To disable the suggestions, toggle the button again.

Delete Auto Triage request

You can choose to delete a ticket field while it is in the ‘Requested’ state. Once deleted, your request for that particular field will not be processed further.


Note: You can only delete a ticket field while it is in the ‘Requested’ state. For fields in any other state, you can choose to disable suggestions if required.
