Frequently asked questions

Ceven implements an intelligent queuing system that respects the HelpDesk API rate limits. When the agent detects a 429 Too Many Requests response, it automatically pauses outgoing calls and implements an exponential backoff strategy. This prevents your API key from being temporarily throttled or banned during large data syncs. For accounts with massive ticket volumes, the agent batches requests and uses cursor based pagination to pull data in smaller chunks. This ensures that your real time support operations are never impacted by the background synchronization processes running in the workflow layer.
Ceven can draft and send replies by leveraging your existing canned responses. The agent identifies the correct template based on the ticket intent and populates any required custom fields. You can configure the workflow to send these replies automatically for common requests or set them as drafts for a human agent to review first. This hybrid approach ensures that customers get fast answers while your team maintains final sign off on sensitive communications. All outgoing messages are logged within the HelpDesk ticket history for full auditability.
Ceven monitors the custom field schema via the List Custom Fields action. If a field is renamed or deleted in HelpDesk, the agent will flag a mapping error in the workflow logs and pause any affected automations. You will receive a notification to remap the field to the corresponding destination in your CRM or database. This prevents data corruption and ensures that critical customer information continues to flow correctly between your support desk and the rest of your business stack.
Yes. The agent can pull all available teams and their IDs to dynamically route tickets based on keywords or customer tiers. For example, if a ticket contains the word billing and the customer is on a corporate plan, the agent can automatically assign that ticket to the Finance Team. This removes the need for a manual triage agent to read every incoming request. You can update these routing rules in Ceven without needing to change the internal settings within the HelpDesk dashboard.
Ceven requires an API key for connectivity, which is a feature gated by HelpDesk tier levels. If you are on the basic free plan, you may find that API access is restricted or limited in scope. Specifically, some advanced reporting and webhook endpoints are only available on the Professional or Enterprise tiers. We recommend verifying your plan level in the HelpDesk billing section before setting up complex automations that rely on real time webhooks or bulk data exports.
Ceven can detect the presence of attachments on a HelpDesk ticket and pull the associated metadata. While the agent does not store the raw files, it can pass the download URLs to other tools in your workflow, such as uploading a customer screenshot directly to a Jira ticket or a Slack channel. This ensures that your engineering team has the visual evidence they need to fix a bug without having to log into the support portal manually.
Ceven operates using the permissions granted to the API key provided during setup. It cannot change the internal permission levels of your human agents within the HelpDesk interface. However, it can use the List Agents action to audit who has access to which teams and alert you if an agent is assigned to too many queues. This allows you to maintain a lean support operation while ensuring that workload distribution remains balanced across your entire support organization.
The agent uses the List Contacts action to pull customer data and matches it against your external database using the email address as the unique identifier. When a new ticket is created in HelpDesk, Ceven checks if the contact exists in your CRM. If the contact is new, the agent creates a corresponding record in the CRM with the HelpDesk ID attached. This creates a bidirectional link that allows your sales team to see every support interaction a customer has had before jumping on a renewal call.
