Magic Agents Automation

Updated by Griffin Steinman

Magic Agent is great at troubleshooting and gathering information. It can take that information and either send it to a technician, or kick off an automation. Just like for a technician, it can kick off the automation by passing in the information to a URL of your choosing. This is is a great way to kick off a Robotic Process Automation tool such as Microsoft's PowerAutomate / LogicApp or Azure Functions or Rewst or Zapier or Make or any other tool!

This makes the automation very powerful for many use cases, such as:

  • Triggering a user onboarding
  • Triggering an off boarding
  • Looking up a help article from IT Glue or Hudu and sending it to the end user
  • Assigning a license in M365
  • And so much more!

This is a great way to continue to get more value out of your existing automations or to start on your automation journey. Here is how it works.

  1. Once Magic Agent detects the intent, it asks the questions of the user
  2. Once the user gets all of the information across, Magic Agent will confirm that the information entered is right
  3. It will trigger the URL that you put into the Automation section

When using Magic Agents Automation URL, it will sends a POST request with the following JSON object.

The key to notice here is that under the "intent_fields". These are dynamic based on the Intent Form Field Names that you have created. And the value for it is what the end user has submitted.

{
"intent_name": "How can I",
"intent_fields": {
"Query": "Inbox+Channel+Tickets",
"Request": "I created a new inbox channel, how do I clean up unwanted tickets?"
},
"meta_data": {
"ticket_id": 1234,
"ticket_board_name": "Help Desk",
"ticket_board_id": 1,
"contact_id": 4567,
"contact_name": "Bruce Wayne",
"contact_email": "Brucy@wayne.net",
"company_id": "2237",
"company_name": "Wayne Enterprises",
"company_types": [
"Client"
]
}
}

The API call does wait for a response to be able to let the end user know what is going on.

Below is what the response is waiting for:

Header: Status Code 200 
{
"success": 200,
"message": "I was able to get that done for you!"
}

This can be extremely powerful if you want to send a password reset link, a help article or a message that says "that user is already part of the email group!".
