What it does
Automations:- Trigger events — react to ticket creation, status changes, replies, assignment, SLA escalation, invoice generation, CSAT received, or a quote being accepted/declined
- Conditions — match on priority, status, category, contact email, company, and more
- Actions — auto-assign, change priority, update status, add internal notes, send notifications, or send a webhook
- Rule priority — execute rules in order; stop processing after a match if enabled
- Execution logs — view every time a rule ran, whether it matched, and what it did
- Pending reviews — see tickets where a technician has already acted on an AI draft, sorted by confidence (lowest first), awaiting a manager’s confirm-or-override
- Manager confirm/override — mark the tech’s decision Correct, or override it with Override: AI Was Right / Override: AI Was Wrong
- Audit trail — every review is written to the audit log, and Recent Reviews shows the tech’s action next to the manager’s
How to create an automation rule
1
Open Automations and click New Rule
In the PSA module sidebar, click Automations, then click New Rule.
2
Name and describe the rule
Enter a name (e.g. “Auto-assign Critical tickets to Tom”) and optional description.
3
Choose a trigger event
Ticket Created, Ticket Status Changed, Ticket Reply Added, Ticket Assigned, SLA Escalation, Invoice Generated, CSAT Received, or Quote Decided.
4
Add conditions (optional)
Click + Add Condition. For each, choose a field (e.g. Priority), operator (Equals), and value (CRITICAL). All conditions must match for the rule to execute.
5
Add actions
Click + Add Action. Choose: Assign Ticket, Change Priority, Change Status, Add Internal Note, Send Notification, or Send Webhook. Configure the payload (e.g. which technician).
6
Set priority and options
Lower Priority = executed first. Check Enabled to activate. Check Stop after match to prevent other rules from running if this one matches.
7
Save the rule
Click Create Rule.
How to test an automation rule
1
Open the rule
Find the rule in your Automations list.
2
Click the test icon
A dry-run executes the rule against a sample ticket. You’ll see the test ticket evaluated, which conditions matched, what actions would have executed, and a “Would Execute” / “Would NOT execute” summary.
3
Review and adjust
If the test shows unexpected behavior, edit the conditions or actions and test again.
How a technician handles an AI draft
On a ticket with a suggested reply, the technician reviews the draft text directly on the ticket (editing it in place changes nothing about the review process below — it’s just the reply text) and either clicks Send to Customer (then confirms with Confirm and Send, Send & Resolve, or Send & Close) or Discard. This decision — accepted as-is, edited, or discarded — is what later shows up as the “tech action” in AI Reviews.How admin review works (AI Reviews)
AI Reviews is a retrospective quality-control page for admins, not a pre-send approval gate — by the time a ticket shows up here, the technician has already sent or discarded the reply.1
Open AI Reviews
In the PSA sidebar, click AI Reviews (admin-only entry, near the bottom of the sidebar).
2
View pending reviews
The Pending Reviews card lists tickets whose AI draft was acted on by a technician but not yet reviewed by a manager, sorted by confidence (lowest first).
3
Open a ticket
Click a ticket to go to its detail page, where a Manager Review card shows the tech’s action (Accepted / Edited / Discarded / Auto-sent) and the AI’s confidence score.
4
Confirm or override
- Correct — the tech’s decision was the right call.
- Override: AI Was Right — the tech rejected or discarded a draft that was actually good.
- Override: AI Was Wrong — the tech accepted a draft that was actually bad.
Overriding a rating updates that ticket’s stored quality score, which weights how likely it is to be pulled back in as an example for future AI drafts — it isn’t a fine-tuning or retraining step on the underlying model.
Understanding AI confidence
AI replies include a confidence score (0-100%) representing how sure the model is. Low scores mean the AI was uncertain — review carefully. Low confidence does not always mean wrong; high confidence does not guarantee correct. Always review the actual reply text and the ticket context before sending.AI and ticket priority
The AI auto-analyzer suggests, never sets, ticket priority. The priority chosen at ticket creation — by the customer (portal or Teams bot), by the inbound-email classifier, or by the operator (manual UI) — is the sole source of truth.This is a hard guarantee. A customer-submitted CRITICAL ticket will arrive in the PSA at CRITICAL regardless of what the AI’s per-ticket analysis suggests. Notification rules and SLA timers keyed on customer priority always fire correctly.
The Change Priority automation action listed in the rule-builder above is for operator-authored MSP rules. It does not represent AI behavior. Use it freely — your rules are policy you define, not AI judgment.
Automation Value
Automation Value (PSA sidebar → Automation Value) tracks how many technician-minutes each platform automation saves, so client reports can show the true value of auto-resolved work instead of just a ticket count. Every automation signal Regentra ships has a platform default — a reasonable estimate of how long the equivalent manual work would take. You can override any of them for your organization:- Browse Platform Defaults to see the default minutes for each automation signal.
- Click Override to set your own manual minutes equivalent for your organization, plus an optional fixed hourly rate (otherwise the client’s own agreement rate is used).
- Overridden signals show an Overridden badge; remove an override at any time to fall back to the platform default.
Frequently asked questions
Can I test a rule without creating it?
Can I test a rule without creating it?
No. Save the rule first, then use the test button. Drafts cannot be tested.
What happens if two rules match the same ticket?
What happens if two rules match the same ticket?
Rules execute in priority order (lower number = first). If a rule has Stop after match enabled, execution stops there. Otherwise all matching rules execute in sequence.
Can I disable a rule without deleting it?
Can I disable a rule without deleting it?
Yes. Click the play/pause icon next to the rule. It’s disabled immediately and won’t execute on new tickets.
Are AI reviews separate from automations?
Are AI reviews separate from automations?
Yes. AI Reviews is an after-the-fact quality check on drafts technicians already accepted, edited, or discarded — it does not gate whether a reply is sent. Automations execute immediately with no manual review either way.
Does the AI learn from my overrides?
Does the AI learn from my overrides?
Not in the sense of retraining the model. Marking a review Correct or Override updates that ticket’s stored quality score, which influences whether it’s pulled in as an example for future AI drafts (via retrieval), rather than fine-tuning the underlying AI model.
