“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 Twilio work for Ticket Routing automation?
Twilio 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 Twilio 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 @Twilio
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.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does Ticket Routing automation scale with increased Twilio volume?
The Ticket Routing agent scales automatically as your Twilio activity grows. Whether you process 10 or 10,000 Ticket Routing tasks per day from Twilio, the AI handles the volume without slowdowns or additional configuration.
Can I customize which Twilio events trigger Ticket Routing actions?
Yes. You define exactly which Twilio 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 Twilio.
Can I run multiple Ticket Routing workflows with different Twilio triggers?
Yes. You can create parallel Ticket Routing workflows that respond to different Twilio events or conditions. For example, one Ticket Routing flow for new Twilio records and another for updated ones — each with independent rules and actions.
How does DeskFerry automate Ticket Routing directly inside Twilio?
DeskFerry connects natively with Twilio to handle the full Ticket Routing workflow. The AI agent monitors Twilio events, processes Ticket Routing tasks automatically, and writes results back to Twilio — no copy-pasting or tab-switching required.
How does the Ticket Routing agent classify Twilio tickets?
The agent reads ticket content, applies twilio-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.
