Respond to Zendesk-Style Support Tickets via HubSpot with Slack Escalation

When a high-priority support ticket is created in HubSpot, the agent retrieves the ticket and associated contact history, drafts a response using context from past interactions, posts an escalation alert to Slack, and updates the ticket status.

How the workflow runs

The scenario uses specific integration tools at each step, while Metorial keeps access scoped and visible.

  1. 1

    Retrieve ticket and customer context

    Fetch the new high-priority ticket, the submitting contact's profile and history, and the associated company to understand account tier and past issues.

    • hubspot:get_ticket
    • hubspot:get_contact
    • hubspot:get_associations
  2. 2

    Escalate in Slack and update ticket

    Post a structured escalation message to the support channel with ticket summary, account tier, and urgency. Move the ticket to the in-progress pipeline stage.

    • slack:send_message
    • hubspot:update_deal
  3. 3

    Set SLA follow-up reminder

    Create a Slack reminder for the assigned support owner to check on ticket resolution before the SLA deadline expires.

    • slack:manage_reminders
