Route support escalations in Email
Classify inbound tickets by urgency in flight and route only the ones that need a human now — so the on-call channel sees escalations, not every ticket.

the event
You emit support.ticket.created with this shape. The TypeScript SDK keeps the call type-safe, and the event is stored whole — so every field below is available to the pipeline by name.

emit it
From your code with the TypeScript SDK — or any language over the REST endpoint and signed webhook ingress.
import { ingest } from "@ingestlayer/sdk";
await ingest("support.ticket.created", {
ticket_id: ticket.id,
subject: ticket.subject,
body: ticket.body,
customer_tier: ticket.account.tier,
channel: ticket.channel,
}, {
idempotencyKey: ticket.id,
});route it to Email
Send a transactional email to one or more recipients, addressable from event fields.
- 01
set the recipient
Enter a fixed address, or reference an event field like $event.payload.email to route per event.
- 02
write subject and body
Both accept $event.* templates. The body renders as plain text with an optional summary table of the payload.
- 03
confirm the sender
Mail goes out from mail@notify.ingestlayer.com with SPF and DKIM aligned. Set a reply-to if you want responses to reach you.

notes
- Outbound email is metered against a monthly quota that scales with your plan; over-quota sends are deferred, not dropped.
- Sending from a fixed ingestlayer domain keeps deliverability high, but the From address is not your own domain.
- Recipient addresses pulled from event fields are validated at send time; a malformed address dead-letters that delivery.
questions
- What model does the classify step use?
- Yours. You bring the model, prompt, and label schema; ingestlayer runs it in flight and returns a typed label the pipeline branches on.
- Does every ticket hit the model?
- Only if you want it to. classify is per-event and cached by payload hash, so identical tickets reuse one call.
- Can the same ticket go to two places?
- Yes — fan out to several destinations with different when conditions, e.g. critical to chat and everything to Postgres.
