Proactive Error Ticketing and Automated Help Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional customer support systems require users to manually contact support operators to report errors, which is inefficient and does not proactively address issues.
Innovation Solution
A proactive customer support system that automatically detects error messages, generates issue tickets, prioritizes them based on transaction value and user interaction history, and provides automated help messages and replies to users, while ranking and displaying tickets for operators to focus on critical issues first.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional customer support systems are used, then users can contact support operators to report errors, but the process is inefficient and does not proactively address issues
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting errors and generating issue tickets before users manually contact support. The error detection component monitors communications and identifies errors proactively, while the issue ticket generation component creates and transmits tickets to customer service devices, eliminating the need for users to manually initiate contact.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically detecting errors, determining error types, generating issue tickets, and providing help messages without requiring user intervention. The automated assistance component provides help messages and the system autonomously manages the error reporting process, reducing the burden on users.
2Reliability
If all error tickets are treated equally, then simple errors can be resolved quickly, but critical errors with high transaction values may be delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies parameter changes by assigning priority scores to issue tickets based on error data, transaction values, and user interaction history. The ranking component modifies the treatment parameters of different tickets, ensuring that critical errors with higher transaction values and longer unresolved durations receive higher priority and are processed more urgently.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements local quality by differentiating the handling of different error tickets based on their characteristics. Critical errors with high transaction values and extended unresolved durations are treated with higher priority than routine errors, allowing the system to allocate resources dynamically based on the severity and impact of each individual error.
3Extent of automation
If manual error reporting is required, then users have control over when to report, but the system cannot proactively provide assistance
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves universality by implementing a multi-functional error detection component that monitors various types of communications, determines error types, generates issue tickets, prioritizes them, and provides automated assistance. This single component handles multiple functions within the error management process, reducing the need for separate complex systems.

AI summary
In various example embodiments, a system and method for a proactive customer support system are provided. In some example embodiments, outgoing communications from an application server to a client device are monitored for error messages, outgoing error messages are detected, an error type for an error message is determined, an issue ticket including the error message and the error type is generated, and instructions are transmitted that cause a customer service device to display the issue ticket. In some example embodiments, the system additionally assigns a priority score and ranks open error tickets based on their respective error messages. In some example embodiments, the system provides a help message to the client device based on the error message, receives an information request from the client device, determines a reply message based on the information request, and transmits instructions to the client device to display the reply message.
