What the data for this category looks like
Data sources for this category include ITSM systems, phone or chat records, asset systems, and internal knowledge bases. Data updates occur daily or in real time. Daily documents include service request forms, incident tickets, processing records, and user satisfaction surveys. Core fields include unique ticket identifier, submitting user identifier, problem classification tags, processing status, response duration, and satisfaction score. No additional custom unit fields are included.
Constraints imposed by these characteristics on the workflow orchestration link
Dispersed data sources require workflow configurations with multi-system connection nodes to unify ticket data pulling and cleaning. Real-time or daily update frequencies require workflows to support scheduled or event trigger modes to match different data refresh needs. Multiple document types and fixed field structures require variables configuration field mapping rules to standardize ticket data across sources. As a unified acceptance entry, workflows must support unified assignment and circulation of multi-channel tickets to avoid cross-channel data silos.
How to configure the settings
The following configurations are based on FastGPT v4.17.0.
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger Mode | Event trigger (ticket creation/update) or scheduled trigger (daily 00:00) | Adapts to real-time or daily data update frequency requirements |
variables | Map the four core fields: ticket ID, submitting user identifier, problem classification, processing status | Unifies data format for tickets from multiple sources |
nodeId | Bind the unique identifier of the ticket processing node | Ensures correct association between workflow nodes and ticket data |
| Node Timeout Setting | 600 seconds | Prevents single-node processing duration from exceeding SLA limits |
| Attachment Parsing Node | Maximum supported file size: 1000 MB | Adapts to common size ranges for ticket attachments |
| Branch Judgment Node | Based on problem classification field values | Corresponds to the core time-consuming link of problem classification in the business, enabling accurate ticket assignment |
Three common configuration mistakes
- Workflow run logs do not display the submitting user identifier, preventing ticket ownership association. This occurs when the submitting user identifier field is not mapped during
variablesconfiguration, so user information is not included in circulation data. - Subsequent knowledge base query nodes do not trigger after a ticket uploads an attachment. This happens if the attachment parsing node is not configured, or the node's trigger conditions do not include the attachment upload status.
- The number of results returned by the query merging module does not match expectations. This occurs when matching fields for merging rules are not set, so ticket data from different sources is not correctly aggregated.
How to verify a successful configuration
- Manually submit a test ticket, and confirm whether the workflow starts running per the trigger rules.
- Check that fields mapped by
variablesappear fully in workflow logs, with no missing entries or formatting errors. - Trigger the branch judgment node, and verify that the workflow enters the correct processing branch based on problem classification field values.
- Upload a test attachment, and confirm that the corresponding parsing and knowledge base query nodes are triggered.
