AI Integration
The AI Helpdesk API is described in OpenAPI 3.1, a format AI coding assistants can read directly. Common use cases include:- Natural-language data lookups (“show me unhandled sessions”)
- Trend analysis and summary reports
- AI Agent workflows that reference knowledge articles and procedures
Resources for AI Developers
Using the OpenAPI Schema
The latest OpenAPI specification is available at:Building a Natural-Language Interface
Because the API is read-only, it is particularly well-suited for lookup interfaces driven by AI. Examples:- “List 10 unhandled sessions”
- “Group sessions closed in the last 7 days by assignee type”
- “Show all knowledge articles in the
onboardingcategory”
Code Generation
Use AI to generate API request code from natural-language instructions:- Describe what you want in plain language
- The AI picks the right endpoint (e.g.
/api/v1/sessions,/api/v1/knowledge) - Get runnable code with the
X-API-Keyheader set
Best Practices
Security
- Never hand the AI tool your API key in plain text — load it from an environment variable
- Review AI-generated code for security issues before running it
- Avoid issuing over-privileged keys (only grant ADMIN role when needed)
Error Handling
- Have AI-generated code branch on
{"ok": false, "error": ...}rather than HTTP status alone - Keep request rate below
~20 RPSper key to avoid upstream throttling
Data Privacy
- Mask session content and personally identifiable information before feeding it to the AI
- Review the AI tool’s data retention policy before sending sensitive content
