Summary: ◀▼
You can turn off topic, sentiment, and language detection for intelligent triage, or disable or delete an entity field so it no longer appears in tickets. This helps you control AI ticket classification, reduce unwanted ticket highlighting, and keep classified data aligned with your support workflow.





Intelligent triage classifications are available on Suite and Support Professional plans and above. Using them in workflows requires the Copilot add-on.
Intelligent triage uses AI to automatically
classify new customer support tickets by topic, sentiment, language, and entities, such
as product names.
By default, intelligent triage topic, sentiment, and language settings are
turned on. This article describes how admins can turn off these settings in Admin
Center. If you've configured entity classification, you can turn off or delete an entity
so that it's no longer classified in tickets.
