It uses AI to perform searching tasks against a Supabase Vector Store.\nThis can be one way to help reduce the amount of manual work in managing the issue backlog for busy teams with little effort.\n\n### How it works\n* This template contains 2 separate flows which run continuously via schedule triggers.\n* The first populates our Supabase vector store with resolved issues within the last day. This helps keep our vector store up-to-date and relevant for the purpose of finding similar issues.\n* It does this by pulling the latest resolved issues from JIRA and populating the Supabase vectorstore with carefully chosen metadata. This will come in handy later.\n* The second flow watches for stale, unassigned issues for the purpose of aut-assigning to a relevant team member.\n* It does this by comparing the stale issue against our vector store of resolved issues with the goal of identifying which team member would have best context regarding the issue.\n* In a busy team, this may net a few team members as possible candidates to assign. Therefore, we can introduce additional logic to count each team member's assigned, in-progress issues. This is intended to not overload our busiest members.\n* The team member with the least assigned issues is pressumed to have the most capacity and therefore is assigned. A comennt is left in the issue to notify the team member that they've been auto-assigned due to age of issue.\n\n### How to use\n* Modify the project and interval parameters to match those of your use-case and team members.\n* Add additional criteria before assigning to a team member eg. department, as required.\n\n### Need Help?\nJoin the [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/XPKeKXeB7d) or ask in the [Forum](https://community.n8n.io/)!\n\nHappy Hacking!"}, "typeVersion": 1}], "pinData": {}, "connections": {"Skip": {"main": [[{"node": "For Each Issue", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Issue Ref": {"main": [[{"node": "Find Similar Issues + Assignees", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "For Each User": {"main": [[{"node": "Count Assigned Open Issues per User", "type": "main", "index": 0}], [{"node": "Check User Workflow", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "If has Items?": {"main": [[{"node": "For Each User", "type": "main", "index": 0}], [{"node": "Skip", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Collect Fields": {"main": [[{"node": "Issues Similarity Database", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "For Each Issue": {"main": [[], [{"node": "Issue Ref", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Issues to Items": {"main": [[{"node": "If has Items?", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Last 50 Resolved": {"main": [[{"node": "Remove Duplicates", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Schedule Trigger": {"main": [[{"node": "Last 50 Resolved", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Embeddings OpenAI": {"ai_embedding": [[{"node": "Issues Similarity Database", "type": "ai_embedding", "index": 0}]]}, "OpenAI Chat Model": {"ai_languageModel": [[{"node": "Find Similar Issues + Assignees", "type": "ai_languageModel", "index": 0}]]}, "Remove Duplicates": {"main": [[{"node": "Collect Fields", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Schedule Trigger1": {"main": [[{"node": "Get Unassigned Tickets more than 5 days", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Embeddings OpenAI1": {"ai_embedding": [[{"node": "Supabase Vector Store", "type": "ai_embedding", "index": 0}]]}, "OpenAI Chat Model1": {"ai_languageModel": [[{"node": "To Structured Output", "type": "ai_languageModel", "index": 0}]]}, "Check User Workflow": {"main": [[{"node": "Tally In-Progress Issues per User", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Default Data Loader": {"ai_document": [[{"node": "Issues Similarity Database", "type": "ai_document", "index": 0}]]}, "Add Comment to Issue": {"main": [[{"node": "For Each Issue", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "To Structured Output": {"main": [[{"node": "Issues to Items", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Assign User to Ticket": {"main": [[{"node": "Add Comment to Issue", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Sort By Most Capacity": {"main": [[{"node": "Assign User to Ticket", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Supabase Vector Store": {"ai_tool": [[{"node": "Find Similar Issues + Assignees", "type": "ai_tool", "index": 0}]]}, "Find Similar Issues + Assignees": {"main": [[{"node": "To Structured Output", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Recursive Character Text Splitter": {"ai_textSplitter": [[{"node": "Default Data Loader", "type": "ai_textSplitter", "index": 0}]]}, "Tally In-Progress Issues per User": {"main": [[{"node": "For Each User", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Count Assigned Open Issues per User": {"main": [[{"node": "Sort By Most Capacity", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Get Unassigned Tickets more than 5 days": {"main": [[{"node": "For Each Issue", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}}}
