Quick Start Guide
Connect your helpdesk and go live with automated ticket resolution in under 4 hours.
Overview
TR-AI sits between your customers and your support agents. When a ticket arrives, the resolution engine searches your knowledge base, scores its confidence, and either posts a reply automatically or routes the ticket to your triage group — all within seconds.
The typical setup takes 3–4 hours and follows four phases: account creation, knowledge base indexing, helpdesk connection, and a test run.
Step 1 — Create your trial account
- 1Go to the trial signup pageNavigate to
ticketresolve.ai/trialand complete the 4-step signup form. - 2Choose your helpdesk platformSelect the platform you use: Zendesk, Freshdesk, Intercom, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho Desk, or Email. You can only connect one platform per trial account.
- 3Enter your credentialsEach platform requires different credentials. See the integration guides in the sidebar for platform-specific instructions.
- 4Add your knowledge base URLEnter the root URL of your documentation site (e.g.
https://help.yourcompany.com). TR-AI will crawl and index it automatically. You can also connect Confluence or Notion.
Step 2 — Index your knowledge base
After signup, TR-AI begins crawling your knowledge base in the background. Indexing typically takes 5–30 minutes depending on the size of your documentation.
You can monitor progress from the Dashboard → Knowledge Base card. The status will show Running while indexing and Ready when complete.
Step 3 — Connect your helpdesk webhook
Once your knowledge base is indexed, connect your helpdesk by registering the webhook URL shown in your Dashboard. This tells your helpdesk to send new tickets and customer replies to TR-AI.
Your webhook URL follows this pattern:
https://ticketresolve.ai/api/integrations/{platform}/webhook/{trialId}
Examples:
Zendesk: https://ticketresolve.ai/api/integrations/zendesk/webhook/42
Freshdesk: https://ticketresolve.ai/api/integrations/freshdesk/webhook/42
Intercom: https://ticketresolve.ai/api/integrations/intercom/webhook/42
Salesforce: polled every 30 seconds — no webhook needed
HubSpot: https://ticketresolve.ai/api/integrations/hubspot/webhook/42
Zoho Desk: https://ticketresolve.ai/api/integrations/zoho-desk/webhook/42See the platform-specific integration guides for exact setup steps in each helpdesk's admin panel.
Step 4 — Send a test ticket
- 1Create a test ticket in your helpdeskSubmit a ticket with a subject and description that matches something in your knowledge base.
- 2Watch the DashboardOpen your TR-AI Dashboard and watch the Recent resolutions feed. Within 10–30 seconds you should see the ticket appear with an outcome of
resolvedortriage. - 3Check the reply in your helpdeskIf the outcome was resolved, TR-AI will have posted a reply and closed the ticket. If triage, it moved the ticket to your triage group and sent a holding reply to the customer.
Resolution outcomes
| Outcome | What happened | Customer sees |
|---|---|---|
| resolved | Confidence ≥ 0.82 (default) — AI posted a reply and closed the ticket | A direct answer from your support team |
| triage | Confidence < 0.60 — ticket moved to triage group (0.60–0.82 is drafted for agent review) | A holding reply; agent picks up the ticket |
| routed_to_agent | KB not indexed yet (reindex running) — sent straight to agent | No AI reply; agent handles it |
