Use Cases

Smarter support workflows in action

Discover how support teams use AI agents alongside HelpDesk to deflect common tickets, personalize responses, and route complex issues to the right people.

Ticket Status Checks Without Agent Intervention

A customer messages asking about the status of their refund request submitted three days ago. Your AI Agent searches HelpDesk tickets, matches the customer's email, retrieves the ticket with its current status and last agent comment, and shares the update. The customer gets their answer in seconds. Your support team never has to open the ticket just to relay a status.

New Customer Identification Before the First Reply

Someone contacts support about a product issue. Before responding, your AI Agent searches HelpDesk contacts by the customer's email, discovers they are a verified enterprise client with three previous tickets, and tailors the response to their account tier. The customer feels recognized immediately. Your support team sees enriched context without asking the customer to repeat their history.

Intelligent Routing to Specialized Teams

A customer describes a complex technical issue involving API integration errors. Your AI Agent identifies the technical nature of the request, retrieves the team list from HelpDesk, and flags the conversation for the engineering support team with a summary of the issue. The right team gets the ticket from the start. No bouncing between departments, no frustrated customer.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent retrieve ticket information from HelpDesk?

The agent uses HelpDesk's List Tickets endpoint with cursor-based pagination, sorting by creation date. It can then match tickets to the customer's email through the contact lookup. Each ticket includes status, assignee, creation time, and the latest messages, giving the agent full context to update the customer.

Can the agent access customer contact records in HelpDesk?

Yes. The agent uses the List Contacts endpoint with email, phone, or company ID filters. It retrieves the contact's verification state, associated company, and ticket history. This allows the agent to personalize responses based on the customer's profile without asking them to identify themselves again.

What authentication method does HelpDesk require?

HelpDesk uses Basic Auth with a Personal Access Token. You generate a PAT from the Developers Console under Tools, then base64-encode it with your Account ID in the username:token format. Enter this encoded token in your Tars dashboard. You can revoke the PAT at any time from the HelpDesk console.

Does Tars store any HelpDesk ticket or contact data?

No. Tars queries HelpDesk's API in real time during each conversation. Ticket details, contact records, and team assignments are fetched live and used only to respond to the current request. No support data is cached or stored in Tars systems between sessions.

Can the agent use HelpDesk's canned responses for consistent messaging?

Yes. The agent retrieves all canned responses through the List Canned Responses endpoint. When a customer asks a frequently asked question, the agent matches it to the most relevant pre-approved response and delivers it. This ensures brand-consistent answers without manual agent involvement.

How does this compare to HelpDesk's built-in LiveChat integration?

HelpDesk's LiveChat integration creates tickets from chat conversations, but a human agent still answers. With Tars, the AI agent resolves common queries autonomously by pulling data from HelpDesk in real time. It works across WhatsApp, SMS, and web, and connects to your other tools like Slack, CRM, or billing systems simultaneously.

Can the agent identify which team should handle a specific issue?

Yes. The agent retrieves the full team list from HelpDesk's List Teams endpoint, each with their name, description, and settings. Based on the customer's issue type, the agent identifies the appropriate team and can flag the conversation for escalation to that specific group.

What happens when the agent cannot resolve a customer's issue?

The agent gracefully hands off to a human. It compiles the full conversation context, the customer's HelpDesk contact record, any matching ticket history, and a summary of the issue. This information can be pushed to your support team via notification or ticket creation so they start with complete context rather than a blank slate.
