Automatically categorize SolarWinds Service Desk tickets with AI

Swiftask analyzes your incoming tickets and categorizes them instantly within SolarWinds Service Desk. Stop wasting time on manual sorting.

Result:

Drastically reduce triage time and ensure precise routing to the right technical teams.

Manual ticket triage slows down your IT support

Managing incoming tickets is a major bottleneck. When an agent must read, interpret, and manually classify every request, response times suffer. Incorrect categorization leads to unnecessary delays and increased frustration for end-users.

Main negative impacts:

  • Excessive processing time: Time spent sorting tickets is time taken away from actual resolution, directly impacting your SLAs.
  • Frequent routing errors: Incorrect categorization sends tickets to the wrong technician, creating unnecessary back-and-forth in the ticket lifecycle.
  • Agent cognitive load: Your technical experts lose focus on complex issues while dealing with repetitive, low-value triage tasks.

Swiftask integrates with SolarWinds Service Desk to automate ticket categorization as soon as they are created. AI analyzes content, context, and urgency to apply the right tags automatically.

BEFORE / AFTER

What changes with Swiftask

Traditional ticket management

A ticket arrives. A support agent must open it, read the description, decide the category, sub-type, and assignment group. This process can take several minutes per ticket.

Intelligent triage with Swiftask

The ticket is created. Swiftask analyzes it in milliseconds, identifies the intent, and automatically updates the category and assignment fields in SolarWinds Service Desk.

Deploy automation in 4 simple steps

STEP 1 : Configure the AI agent

Define business classification rules in Swiftask. Teach the agent to recognize common request types.

STEP 2 : Connect to SolarWinds

Enable the SolarWinds Service Desk connector. Swiftask communicates securely via API with your instance.

STEP 3 : Define triggers

Configure the agent to trigger on ticket creation or updates.

STEP 4 : Activate the workflow

Launch the automation. Swiftask categorizes tickets in real-time and logs every action for audit.

Advanced classification capabilities

The AI examines the title, description, attachments, and ticket metadata for optimal precision.

  • Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in solarwinds service desk based on event context.
  • Automated actions: Automatic updates to category, sub-category, priority, and assignment group fields. Ability to add specific tags or assign technicians based on skills.
