“We were charged twice for our March seat-add ($840 overage). Need this resolved before Friday's board meeting.”

Hi Theo — apologies for the double-charge. Refund of $840 has been queued (3–5 business days), and I've flagged the seat-add webhook bug for engineering. I'll personally confirm the refund as soon as Stripe clears it.
How does Airtable work for Ticket Routing automation?
Airtable works for Ticket Routing automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to Airtable alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for Ticket Routing, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Triage every @Zendesk ticket with @Airtable
AI categorizes and prioritizes support tickets the moment they arrive — no manual triage needed.
- 03
Classify by topic and urgency
Teams typically see instant to the right queue and agent once the agent is in production.
- 04
Assign to the right queue with suggested next steps
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
- 05
You approve
Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

Human in the loop
Approve before it sends.
Every draft lands in a review queue. You approve, edit, or reject — the agent never acts on its own unless you explicitly turn that on for a workflow you trust.
Governance
Every action, with the reasoning attached.
Each step the agent takes is logged with what it did, why it did it, and which app it touched. Audit-ready, so security and compliance can sign off without backfilling.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I test Ticket Routing automation with Airtable before going live?
Yes. You can run Ticket Routing workflows in test mode using sample Airtable data before activating on live records. This lets you verify every Ticket Routing rule works correctly with your Airtable setup before processing real data.
How does DeskFerry automate Ticket Routing directly inside Airtable?
DeskFerry connects natively with Airtable to handle the full Ticket Routing workflow. The AI agent monitors Airtable events, processes Ticket Routing tasks automatically, and writes results back to Airtable — no copy-pasting or tab-switching required.
Can I customize which Airtable events trigger Ticket Routing actions?
Yes. You define exactly which Airtable events start Ticket Routing workflows — new records, status changes, messages, or custom triggers. Each trigger can have conditions so Ticket Routing actions only fire when your specific criteria are met in Airtable.
What happens when the Ticket Routing agent encounters an issue in Airtable?
When the AI hits an edge case during Ticket Routing processing in Airtable, it escalates to your team with full context — the Airtable record, what was attempted, and why it needs review. Your Ticket Routing pipeline never stalls or loses data.
How does the Ticket Routing agent classify Airtable tickets?
The agent reads ticket content, applies airtable-specific tags (issue type, urgency, customer tier, product area), and routes to the right queue or agent — typically within seconds of ticket creation. Misroutes drop to near zero.
