“We were charged twice for our March seat-add ($840 overage). Need this resolved before Friday's board meeting.”
Agent draft · in your tone
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 Gmail work for Ticket Routing automation?
Gmail 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 Gmail 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 @Gmail
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.

Actions
What Gmail + DeskFerry can do
Real Gmail actions your AI agent can perform automatically — no manual work required.
Modify email labels
Adds and/or removes specified gmail labels for a message; ensure `message id` and all `label ids` are valid (use 'listlabels' for custom label ids).
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Create label
Creates a new label with a unique name in the specified user's gmail account.
Delete Draft
Permanently deletes a specific gmail draft using its id; ensure the draft exists and the user has necessary permissions for the given `user id`.
Delete message
Permanently deletes a specific email message by its id from a gmail mailbox; for `user id`, use 'me' for the authenticated user or an email address to which the authenticated user has delegated access.
Fetch emails
Fetches a list of email messages from a gmail account, supporting filtering, pagination, and optional full content retrieval.
Fetch message by message ID
Fetches a specific email message by its id, provided the `message id` exists and is accessible to the authenticated `user id`.
Fetch Message by Thread ID
Retrieves messages from a gmail thread using its `thread id`, where the thread must be accessible by the specified `user id`.
Get Gmail attachment
Retrieves a specific attachment by id from a message in a user's gmail mailbox, requiring valid message and attachment ids.
Get contacts
Fetches contacts (connections) for the authenticated google account, allowing selection of specific data fields and pagination.

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 the Gmail Ticket Routing agent also work with other tools in my stack?
Yes. The Ticket Routing agent connected to Gmail simultaneously interacts with 1,500+ other apps — CRMs, databases, email platforms, and more. A single Ticket Routing workflow can pull data from Gmail, process it, and push results to multiple destinations.
How does DeskFerry automate Ticket Routing directly inside Gmail?
DeskFerry connects natively with Gmail to handle the full Ticket Routing workflow. The AI agent monitors Gmail events, processes Ticket Routing tasks automatically, and writes results back to Gmail — no copy-pasting or tab-switching required.
How does AI-powered Ticket Routing via Gmail compare to manual processing?
Manual Ticket Routing in Gmail requires constant tab-switching, copy-pasting, and follow-up tracking. DeskFerry eliminates this by handling Ticket Routing tasks in real-time as Gmail events occur — running 24/7 with consistent accuracy and zero fatigue.
What happens when the Ticket Routing agent encounters an issue in Gmail?
When the AI hits an edge case during Ticket Routing processing in Gmail, it escalates to your team with full context — the Gmail 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 Gmail tickets?
The agent reads ticket content, applies gmail-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.
