01 / The starting point

A clear request.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps support and customer-facing teams find relevant ticket activity alongside the contact information they use in HubSpot.

  1. Gather recent ticket activity

    Collect new or changed tickets within the period selected by the support team.

  2. Verify the ticket requester

    Check the requester’s approved contact details and hold shared addresses or uncertain identities for human review.

  3. Find the matching HubSpot contact

    Look for an existing contact and distinguish a true match from a similar name or duplicate record.

  4. Prepare contact and ticket changes

    Show the proposed contact details and relevant ticket information without copying unnecessary customer data.

  5. Approve CRM updates with a person

    Require an authorized support or CRM owner to confirm the identity, record type, and exact change before it is applied.

  6. Review external follow-up separately

    If a customer response is needed, prepare it for review and approve the exact wording and recipient before sending.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

Keep in mind

Incorrect matches can attach one customer’s support history to another person. Verify requester identity, ticket status, and the exact fields; require human approval before creating or updating contacts or support records, and review external messages separately.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Select eligible Zendesk tickets

Choose the ticket queues, changes, and time period that may be considered for CRM updates.

Define requester matching rules

Agree which contact details can establish a match and how duplicates, shared addresses, and missing information are handled.

Set record and message approvals

Name the owners who approve contact and ticket changes and any customer-facing follow-up.

Test new, updated, and unmatched tickets

Confirm that repeat events do not create duplicate records and that uncertain matches or messages remain held for review.
