Skill-Based Ticket Routing And Categorization In HubSpot

Quick Tips For Skill-Based Ticket Routing And Automatic Topic Identification.

As service teams grow, the need for streamlined triage and transparent performance only gets sharper. HubSpot’s latest AI tools (skill-based ticket routing insights and automatic topic identification) bring precision and automation to common support workflows.

These updates help teams route more effectively, respond faster, and improve customer experience without relying on guesswork or manual overhead.

Track Performance of Skill-Based Ticket Routing

Skill-based routing helps assign tickets to reps based on specific areas of expertise. But until now, tracking how those assignments performed, or verifying whether tickets were matched correctly, required tedious manual review.

With HubSpot’s latest update, support leads can now see how routing rules are functioning in real time.

Use Case

  • Audit ticket assignment accuracy across routing rules

  • Identify volume trends and misroutes

  • Refine workflows for faster handoffs and lower escalations

This gives teams better control over ticket flow and confidence that reps are spending time on the right conversations.

Use AI for Ticket Topic Identification

Tagging support tickets manually is slow and inconsistent. HubSpot’s AI now identifies and labels ticket topics automatically based on text content, making it easier to analyze trends and respond to what matters most.

This shift helps teams move from reactive support to proactive insights.

Use Case

Support managers can use topic identification to:

  • Spot common issues without combing through transcripts

  • Inform onboarding and training materials

  • Proactively address product or service gaps

Instead of relying on anecdotal feedback, support teams gain data-backed visibility into what customers are asking, and what might be slipping through the cracks.

FAQ

Q: How can we validate the accuracy of AI-assigned ticket topics?
A: Start by reviewing a weekly sample of tagged tickets. Build a feedback loop that lets reps confirm or revise the AI’s suggested topics. Over time, this improves model accuracy and builds team trust in the system.

Q: Can skill-based routing adapt as our team evolves?
A: Yes. As reps gain new skills or join the team, update their profiles and adjust routing rules accordingly. Use HubSpot’s tracking data to identify where rule tweaks may improve performance.

Q: How do these AI features support onboarding and training?
A: Topic identification surfaces real customer issues, which you can use to shape onboarding content. Skill-based routing ensures new reps handle tickets that match their current strengths—giving them space to learn without risking customer experience.
