In today’s fast-paced business environment, support teams handle more than just inbound tickets—they manage critical documents, coordinate interdepartmental processes, and ensure compliance for regulated industries. These tasks often require significant manual effort, slowing down ticket resolution times and tying up valuable resources.

Enter UpBrains AI for Zendesk: a powerful, AI-driven workflow automation solution that streamlines document-centric processes. From OCR and translation of attachments to advanced data extraction and process automation, UpBrains is transforming how organizations leverage Zendesk.

Below, we’ll explore how UpBrains AI addresses common support challenges, automates core workflows, and provides practical solutions for industries ranging from supply chain to finance. Please visit UpBrains AI Integration with Zendesk, UpBrains AI Workflow Automation and Document OCR and Ticket Parsing pages for more details.

1. Automate OCR of Attachments

Manually reading and summarizing attached documents is time-consuming and error-prone. With the Document OCR and Ticket Parsing feature:

• Automatic Text Extraction: When a PDF or image is attached to a ticket, UpBrains AI automatically scans and extracts the text via optical character recognition (OCR).

• Comment Insertion: The extracted text is instantly added as a comment to the Zendesk ticket, giving support agents immediate visibility without having to download and open files.

• No More Manual Data Entry: This process saves valuable agent time and ensures consistent, accurate data in your tickets.

By integrating OCR capabilities directly into your Zendesk workflows, you keep agents focused on problem-solving rather than administrative tasks.

2. Translate Attachments in Real Time

Global customer bases demand multilingual support. UpBrains AI offers automatic translation of ticket content and attachments, enabling you to:

• Support Multiple Languages: Instantly translate emails, PDFs, or scanned images into the desired language.

• Eliminate Communication Barriers: Faster response times and fewer misunderstandings increase customer satisfaction.

• Maintain Consistency: UpBrains AI keeps a consistent tone and brand voice across languages, ensuring high-quality interactions.

This capability is especially helpful for international support teams or organizations dealing with global supply chains.

3. Automating Processes Based on Ticket Information and Custom Fields

UpBrains AI goes beyond just text extraction and translation. It leverages ticket data and custom fields to trigger various automated workflows:

• Conditional Routing: Automatically assign tickets to specific teams or departments based on the extracted data or custom field values (e.g., “Invoice Discrepancy,” “Damaged Goods,” etc.).

• Smart Notifications: Send automated notifications to internal stakeholders when a particular custom field is updated (e.g., escalate shipping issues or notify finance for invoice queries).

• Process Orchestration: Seamlessly move from one step of the process to the next—like verifying a purchase order or approving a return shipment—without manual intervention.

By harnessing Zendesk’s robust custom fields, UpBrains AI makes it simple to design advanced workflows that fit your organization’s unique processes.

4. Processing Finance and Supply Chain Documents

Whether you need to handle invoices, receipts, purchase orders, or more specialized documents like bills of lading or airway bills, UpBrains AI is designed to reduce the manual overhead of data entry and verification.

4.1 Invoices, Receipts, and Purchase Orders

• Invoice Data Extraction: Instantly capture line items, totals, and supplier details from PDF or scanned invoices.

• Purchase Order Integration: Automate PO matching and approval workflows by extracting key data (PO numbers, quantities, prices) and syncing with your back-office systems.

• Receipt Management: Store and categorize receipts automatically in relevant Zendesk tickets or push them into your expense management software.

4.2 Supply Chain Documents

Supply chain transactions often involve specialized paperwork. UpBrains AI handles:

• Bills of Lading and Airway Bills: Extract shipment details such as freight classification, weight, and dimensions to speed up logistics processes.

• Packing Slips and Commercial Invoices: Automatically read and validate item descriptions, counts, and shipment details for streamlined warehouse operations.

• Quality Documentation: Process certificates of analysis (CoA), product specifications, safety data sheets, or certification documents to ensure compliance and traceability.

5. Automating Quality Document-Related Processes

Staying compliant often involves managing a plethora of quality documents. UpBrains AI simplifies this by:

• Automated Data Extraction: Identify critical fields (e.g., batch numbers, expiration dates) in CoAs or safety data sheets.

• Document Validation: Instantly verify whether essential safety or compliance documents are present, flagging missing information for review.

• Centralized Storage: Store and attach these documents directly to your Zendesk tickets for complete record-keeping.

This ensures your customers and partners have the right documentation at each stage, helping you meet industry regulations and standards.

6. Automating Data Entry into Back-Office Systems

One of the most significant bottlenecks in customer support is re-keying ticket data into enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), or financial platforms. With UpBrains AI Workflow Automation, you can:

• Sync Data in Real Time: Map extracted fields from Zendesk tickets to the corresponding fields in your back-office systems.

• Reduce Manual Errors: Minimize data inaccuracies caused by manual entry.

• Accelerate Turnaround Times: Faster processing of claims, returns, or billing cycles directly from within Zendesk.

UpBrains AI seamlessly integrates with systems like SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, or any other platform with an open API, ensuring smooth data flow across your business operations.

7. Automating Data Capture from Email and Client Interactions into Tickets

Collecting additional information from clients—be it contact details, shipping addresses, or custom forms—is often a manual process. UpBrains AI changes that by:

• Smart Forms and Parsing: Automatically parse emails or attachments for relevant data, such as addresses or serial numbers, and populate custom ticket fields.

• Triggered Requests: Proactively send requests to clients for missing information and automatically update the ticket once the client responds.

• Seamless Client Experience: Clients only see a streamlined interaction, while your agents benefit from reduced manual back-and-forth.

This ensures you capture all the information you need without burdening your support staff or confusing your customers.

8. Key Benefits and Why It Matters

1. Increased Efficiency: By eliminating repetitive tasks like manual data entry and document processing, your team can focus on high-value customer interactions.

2. Accuracy and Compliance: AI-based extraction ensures consistent, reliable data handling—critical for regulated industries.
