Core Workflows

核心工作流

1. List and Browse Tickets

1. 列出并浏览工单

When to use: User wants to retrieve, browse, or paginate through support tickets

Tool sequence:

```
HELPDESK_LIST_TICKETS
```
- List tickets with sorting and pagination [Required]

Key parameters:

```
silo
```
: Ticket folder - 'tickets', 'archive', 'trash', or 'spam' (default: 'tickets')
```
sortBy
```
: Sort field - 'createdAt', 'updatedAt', or 'lastMessageAt' (default: 'createdAt')
```
order
```
: Sort direction - 'asc' or 'desc' (default: 'desc')
```
pageSize
```
: Results per page, 1-100 (default: 20)
```
next.value
```
: Timestamp cursor for forward pagination
```
next.ID
```
: ID cursor for forward pagination
```
prev.value
```
: Timestamp cursor for backward pagination
```
prev.ID
```
: ID cursor for backward pagination

Pitfalls:

Pagination uses cursor-based approach with timestamp + ID pairs
Forward pagination requires both
```
next.value
```
and
```
next.ID
```
from previous response
Backward pagination requires both
```
prev.value
```
and
```
prev.ID
```
```
silo
```
determines which folder to list from; default is active tickets
```
pageSize
```
max is 100; default is 20
Archived and trashed tickets are in separate silos

适用场景：用户需要检索、浏览或分页查看支持工单

工具流程：

```
HELPDESK_LIST_TICKETS
```
- 对工单进行排序和分页列出 [必填]

关键参数：

```
silo
```
: 工单文件夹 - 'tickets'（工单）、'archive'（归档）、'trash'（垃圾箱）或'spam'（垃圾邮件）（默认值：'tickets'）
```
sortBy
```
: 排序字段 - 'createdAt'（创建时间）、'updatedAt'（更新时间）或'lastMessageAt'（最后消息时间）（默认值：'createdAt'）
```
order
```
: 排序方向 - 'asc'（升序）或'desc'（降序）（默认值：'desc'）
```
pageSize
```
: 每页结果数，范围1-100（默认值：20）
```
next.value
```
: 用于向前分页的时间戳游标
```
next.ID
```
: 用于向前分页的ID游标
```
prev.value
```
: 用于向后分页的时间戳游标
```
prev.ID
```
: 用于向后分页的ID游标

注意事项：

分页采用基于游标的方式，需同时使用时间戳和ID对
向前分页需要上一次响应中的
```
next.value
```
和
```
next.ID
```
向后分页需要上一次响应中的
```
prev.value
```
和
```
prev.ID
```
```
silo
```
参数决定从哪个文件夹列出工单；默认是活跃工单
```
pageSize
```
最大值为100；默认值为20
已归档和已删除的工单存放在单独的silo中

2. Manage Ticket Views

2. 管理工单视图

When to use: User wants to see saved agent views for organizing tickets

Tool sequence:

```
HELPDESK_LIST_VIEWS
```
- List all agent views [Required]

Key parameters: (none required)

Pitfalls:

Views are predefined saved filters configured by agents in the HelpDesk UI
View definitions include filter criteria that can be used to understand ticket organization
Views cannot be created or modified via API; they are managed in the HelpDesk UI

适用场景：用户想要查看已保存的客服视图，用于整理工单

工具流程：

```
HELPDESK_LIST_VIEWS
```
- 列出所有客服视图 [必填]

关键参数：无必填参数

注意事项：

视图是客服在HelpDesk界面中配置的预定义筛选器
视图定义包含筛选条件，可用于理解工单的分类方式
无法通过API创建或修改视图；需在HelpDesk界面中管理

3. Use Canned Responses

3. 使用预设回复

When to use: User wants to list available canned (template) responses for tickets

Tool sequence:

```
HELPDESK_LIST_CANNED_RESPONSES
```
- Retrieve all predefined reply templates [Required]

Key parameters: (none required)

Pitfalls:

Canned responses are predefined templates for common replies
They may include placeholder variables that need to be filled in
Canned responses are managed through the HelpDesk UI
Response content may include HTML formatting

适用场景：用户想要查看工单可用的预设回复（模板）

工具流程：

```
HELPDESK_LIST_CANNED_RESPONSES
```
- 获取所有预定义回复模板 [必填]

关键参数：无必填参数

注意事项：

预设回复是针对常见回复场景的预定义模板
模板中可能包含需要填充的占位符变量
预设回复需通过HelpDesk界面进行管理
回复内容可能包含HTML格式

4. Inspect Custom Fields

4. 查看自定义字段

When to use: User wants to view custom field definitions for the account

Tool sequence:

```
HELPDESK_LIST_CUSTOM_FIELDS
```
- List all custom field definitions [Required]

Key parameters: (none required)

Pitfalls:

Custom fields extend the default ticket schema with organization-specific data
Field definitions include field type, name, and validation rules
Custom fields are configured in the HelpDesk admin panel
Field values appear on tickets when the field has been populated

适用场景：用户想要查看账户的自定义字段定义

工具流程：

```
HELPDESK_LIST_CUSTOM_FIELDS
```
- 列出所有自定义字段定义 [必填]

关键参数：无必填参数

注意事项：

自定义字段通过组织特定的数据扩展了默认的工单架构
字段定义包含字段类型、名称和验证规则
自定义字段在HelpDesk管理面板中配置
当字段已填充内容时，工单上会显示字段值

Common Patterns

常见模式

Ticket Browsing Pattern

工单浏览模式

1. Call HELPDESK_LIST_TICKETS with desired silo and sortBy
2. Process the returned page of tickets
3. Extract next.value and next.ID from the response
4. Call HELPDESK_LIST_TICKETS with those cursor values for next page
5. Continue until no more cursor values are returned

1. 使用指定的silo和sortBy调用HELPDESK_LIST_TICKETS
2. 处理返回的工单页面
3. 从响应中提取next.value和next.ID
4. 使用这些游标值调用HELPDESK_LIST_TICKETS以获取下一页
5. 持续调用直到没有更多游标值返回

Ticket Folder Navigation

工单文件夹导航

Active tickets:  silo='tickets'
Archived:        silo='archive'
Trashed:         silo='trash'
Spam:            silo='spam'

活跃工单:  silo='tickets'
已归档:        silo='archive'
已删除:         silo='trash'
垃圾邮件:            silo='spam'

Cursor-Based Pagination

基于游标的分页

Forward pagination:
  - Use next.value (timestamp) and next.ID from response
  - Pass as next.value and next.ID parameters in next call

Backward pagination:
  - Use prev.value (timestamp) and prev.ID from response
  - Pass as prev.value and prev.ID parameters in next call

向前分页:
  - 使用响应中的next.value（时间戳）和next.ID
  - 在下次调用中作为next.value和next.ID参数传入

向后分页:
  - 使用响应中的prev.value（时间戳）和prev.ID
  - 在下次调用中作为prev.value和prev.ID参数传入

Known Pitfalls

已知注意事项

Cursor Pagination:

Both timestamp and ID are required for cursor navigation
Cursor values are timestamps in ISO 8601 date-time format
Mixing forward and backward cursors in the same request is undefined behavior

Silo Filtering:

Tickets are physically separated into silos (folders)
Moving tickets between silos is done in the HelpDesk UI
Each silo query is independent; there is no cross-silo search

Read-Only Operations:

Current Composio toolkit provides list/read operations
Ticket creation, update, and reply operations may require additional tools
Check RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS for any newly available tools

Rate Limits:

HelpDesk API has per-account rate limits
Implement backoff on 429 responses
Keep page sizes reasonable to avoid timeouts

Response Parsing:

Response data may be nested under
```
data
```
or
```
data.data
```
Parse defensively with fallback patterns
Ticket IDs are strings

游标分页:

游标导航必须同时使用时间戳和ID
游标值为ISO 8601日期时间格式的时间戳
在同一请求中混合使用向前和向后游标会导致未定义行为

Silo筛选:

工单被物理分隔到不同的silo（文件夹）中
工单在silo之间的移动需在HelpDesk界面中完成
每个silo的查询是独立的；不支持跨silo搜索

只读操作:

当前Composio工具包仅提供列出/读取操作
工单创建、更新和回复操作可能需要额外的工具
请检查RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS以获取任何新增的可用工具

速率限制:

HelpDesk API针对每个账户设有速率限制
收到429响应时请实现退避机制
保持合理的页面大小以避免超时

响应解析:

响应数据可能嵌套在
```
data
```
或
```
data.data
```
下
请采用防御性解析方式，设置回退模式
工单ID为字符串类型
