## Usage

### Create Support Ticket
```yaml
skill: support-platform-integration
action: create-ticket
parameters:
  platform: zendesk
  ticket:
    subject: "Unable to access dashboard after password reset"
    description: "Customer reports 403 error when accessing main dashboard"
    requester_email: "customer@example.com"
    priority: high
    type: incident
    tags:
      - access-issue
      - dashboard
    custom_fields:
      product_area: analytics
      customer_tier: enterprise
```

### Query Ticket History
```yaml
skill: support-platform-integration
action: query-tickets
parameters:
  platform: freshdesk
  filters:
    requester_id: "123456"
    status: [open, pending, resolved]
    created_after: "2025-01-01"
  include:
    - conversations
    - satisfaction_rating
    - time_entries
  limit: 50
```

### Execute Macro
```yaml
skill: support-platform-integration
action: execute-macro
parameters:
  platform: zendesk
  ticket_id: "987654"
  macro_id: "escalate_to_tier2"
  comment: "Escalating per customer request for senior engineer"
```

### Sync Knowledge Article
```yaml
skill: support-platform-integration
action: sync-kb-article
parameters:
  platform: servicenow
  article:
    title: "How to Reset Two-Factor Authentication"
    category: "Account Security"
    content_markdown: |
      ## Steps to Reset 2FA
      1. Navigate to Security Settings
      2. Click "Reset 2FA"
      ...
    status: published
    visibility: public
```

### Generate Support Report
```yaml
skill: support-platform-integration
action: generate-report
parameters:
  platform: zendesk
  report_type: sla_compliance
  date_range:
    start: "2025-01-01"
    end: "2025-01-31"
  group_by: team
  metrics:
    - first_response_time
    - resolution_time
    - breach_count
```

## Process Integration

This skill integrates with the following customer experience processes:

| Process | Integration Points |
|---------|-------------------|
| ticket-triage-routing.js | Ticket creation, priority assignment, routing automation |
| escalation-management.js | Workflow transitions, tier assignments, escalation tracking |
| sla-management.js | SLA timer management, breach alerts, compliance reporting |
| itil-incident-management.js | Incident tickets, major incident workflows, PIR tracking |

## Dependencies

- Support platform API credentials (API tokens or OAuth)
- Webhook configuration for real-time events
- Rate limiting awareness for API quotas
- Custom field mapping configurations
- Agent and team ID mappings

## Best Practices

1. **Idempotency**: Design operations to be safely retryable
2. **Webhook Reliability**: Implement webhook verification and retry handling
3. **Rate Limiting**: Monitor API usage and implement throttling
4. **Data Privacy**: Filter PII from logs and external syncs
5. **Bulk Operations**: Use batch APIs for high-volume operations
6. **Testing**: Use sandbox environments for integration testing

## Shared Potential

This skill is a strong candidate for extraction to a shared library with applicability to:
- DevOps/SRE (incident management)
- IT Operations
- Internal Helpdesk
- Product Support
