Draft Ticket Replies From Help Docs

When a ticket arrives in Zendesk, WebRun reads the issue, searches your Help Scout knowledge base for the best matching article, drafts a clear reply addressed to the customer, and posts it in Slack for your agent to approve before sending.

In short

How can I automatically draft support ticket replies from my help documentation?

When a ticket arrives in Zendesk, WebRun reads the issue, searches your Help Scout knowledge base for the best matching article, drafts a clear reply personalised to the customer, and posts it in Slack for your agent to approve before anything is sent — so every ticket gets a fast, accurate first draft.

  • Every ticket gets a knowledge-base-backed draft reply within minutes
  • Agents spend time approving and refining, not writing from scratch
  • Nothing is sent to a customer without agent sign-off

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order — in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens www.zendesk.com in a real browser with your saved login — no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1
    Zendesk — read the incoming ticket
    zendesk.com
    WebRun in Zendesk: read the incoming ticket

    • Open the new ticket and read the subject, body, and any previous conversation history
    • Extract the customer name, the core question, and any product or account details mentioned
    • Note the ticket language so the draft can match it

    Done when The ticket's issue, customer name, and context are fully captured.

  3. 2
    Help Scout — find the best help article
    helpscout.com
    WebRun in Help Scout: find the best help article

    • Open the top 2–3 results and read the relevant sections
    • Select the single most accurate article or combination of steps that answers the question

    Done when The best-matching help content has been identified.

    • Draft a friendly, on-brand reply addressed to the customer, weaving in the help-article guidance
    • Post the draft to the #support-drafts Slack channel with the ticket ID and a link
    • Leave the reply unsent — your agent clicks Approve to paste it into Zendesk

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send the reply to the customer without my approval?

Never. WebRun only drafts the reply and posts it to Slack. A human clicks Approve before anything reaches the customer.

What if there is no matching help article?

It will note in the draft that no clear match was found and flag the ticket for manual handling — the agent always knows when the draft is uncertain.

Can it handle tickets in multiple languages?

Yes — it detects the ticket language and writes the draft in the same language, even when the help article is in English.

Put this on autopilot.
