Integration Process
The integration between Rezolve.ai | Next-Gen ITSM & HR Support | Agentic AI-Powered Automation and external ticketing systems follows a structured methodology that ensures security, reliability, and alignment with organizational requirements:
1. Requirements Gathering
The first step involves a comprehensive discovery process to understand specific integration needs:
- Use Case Identification: Determine which ticketing functions should be accessible via the Virtual Agent (ticket creation, updates, status checks, approvals, etc.)
- User Experience Mapping: Define the conversational flows for each ticketing function
- Data Mapping: Identify required data fields and their mapping between systems
- Authentication Requirements: Establish security protocols for system-to-system communication
- Notification Requirements: Define alert and notification workflows (e.g., manager notifications upon ticket creation)
- SLA Considerations: Understand performance expectations for the integrated solution
2. API Access Configuration
Once requirements are established, the next step involves configuring secure API access:
- Credential Exchange: Client provides necessary authentication credentials (Client ID, Client Secret)
- Token Generation Endpoint: Client provides the URL for token generation API
- API Documentation: Client provides comprehensive API documentation for required endpoints
- Test Environment Access: Establish connection to test/staging environments for development
- Rate Limiting Considerations: Understand API call limitations and optimize accordingly
- Error Handling Protocols: Define how API errors will be managed and communicated

4. Testing and Validation
Before deployment, the integration undergoes rigorous testing:
- Functional Testing: Verify each ticketing function works as expected
- Security Testing: Validate authentication and data protection measures
- Performance Testing: Assess response times and system load
- Error Handling: Confirm appropriate behavior when errors occur
- User Experience Testing: Evaluate the conversational flow and usability
- End-to-End Testing: Validate complete processes across both systems
5. Deployment and Monitoring
Once testing is complete, the integration is deployed and monitored:
- Staged Rollout: Typically begins with a pilot group before full deployment
- Monitoring Setup: Establish dashboards for integration health and performance
- Support Handoff: Transition to ongoing support model
- Documentation: Finalize technical and user documentation
- Usage Analytics: Configure tracking to measure adoption and effectiveness
Common Integration Scenarios
Ticket Creation
One of the most common integration scenarios is enabling users to create tickets in the external system through natural conversation with the Virtual Agent:
- User initiates a request through the Virtual Agent
- Virtual Agent gathers required information through conversation
- Information is mapped to appropriate fields in the external ticketing system
- API call creates the ticket in the external system
- Ticket details and confirmation are presented to the user
- Optional notifications are sent to relevant stakeholders
Ticket Status Checks
Users can check the status of existing tickets through simple conversational queries:
- User asks about ticket status (with or without specific ticket number)
- Virtual Agent authenticates user and identifies relevant tickets
- API call retrieves current status from external ticketing system
- Status information is presented in a user-friendly format
- Virtual Agent offers related actions (add comment, escalate, etc.)
Ticket Updates
Users can update existing tickets with new information or status changes:
- User requests to update a specific ticket
- Virtual Agent confirms ticket identity and update type
- New information is collected through conversation
- API call updates the ticket in the external system
- Confirmation and updated ticket details are presented
Approval Workflows
For tickets requiring approvals, the Virtual Agent can facilitate the process:
- Approver receives notification of pending approval
- Virtual Agent presents ticket details and approval options
- Approver makes decision through simple conversation
- API call updates approval status in external system
- Notification of approval decision is sent to requestor
Technical Considerations
Authentication Methods
Integration typically supports multiple authentication approaches:
- OAuth 2.0: For secure token-based authentication
- API Keys: For systems using key-based authentication
- Basic Authentication: For simpler systems with username/password
- Custom Authentication: For proprietary authentication methods
Data Mapping Strategies
Careful consideration is given to mapping data between systems:
- Field Mapping: Direct correspondence between equivalent fields
- Data Transformation: Converting between different data formats or structures
- Default Values: Handling required fields not collected in conversation
- Validation Rules: Ensuring data meets target system requirements
- Error Handling: Managing invalid or incomplete data gracefully
Security Considerations
Security is paramount in system integration:
- Credential Management: Secure storage of authentication credentials
- Data Encryption: Protection of data in transit and at rest
- Minimal Permissions: Using least-privilege access principles
- Audit Logging: Tracking all system interactions for compliance
- Session Management: Proper handling of user sessions and timeouts
