Automated triage captures requests from all sources, extracts details instantly, detects duplicates with semantic matching, and assigns consistent scores. the product team spends time on strategy and prioritization instead of data entry.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Feature request receivedtrigger

A new email arrives with a feature request, or a support ticket is created.

2. Extract and parse request

The automation reads the email or ticket, extracts the feature description, customer name, use case, and context, and formats it as structured data.

3. Check for duplicates

The automation queries the existing base to find similar or identical requests. If a match is found, it increments the vote count and adds the new customer to the existing entry.

4. Score impact and effort

The automation assigns impact (1 to 5), business value (1 to 5), and effort (1 to 5) scores based on the request content and predefined scoring rules.

5. Categorize and create record

The automation assigns a product category, creates or updates a record with all extracted data and scores, and sets the status to 'Pending Review'.

6. Notify team

A message is sent to the product team with a summary of the new request, its score, and a link for review.

7. Send customer acknowledgment

An email is sent to the customer confirming receipt of their feature request and providing an estimated timeline for review.
