Create Your First Intents with Triage Agents

Updated by Bryan Chapman

🚀 Get Started with Intents in Minutes

The quickest way to begin automating your support workflows is by using Thread’s ready-made intent templates. These templates are designed to cover the most common service requests, helping you handle up to 50% of your service volume—right out of the box.

Let’s walk you through how to set them up and customize them for your needs.

We've analyzed thousands of service tickets to uncover the most frequent request categories. These high-impact intent templates are available directly in your Thread Admin panel.

You can:

  1. Add templates individually – Browse, customize, and activate as needed.
  2. Add all templates at once – Instantly populate your entire catalog.
When using “Add all templates", all intents will appear as Inactive in your catalog. This gives you time to review and fine-tune them before activating them for your clients.

2. Have a Custom Use Case? Ask Triage Agent!

Got a specific intent in mind, but don’t know how to build it? Let Triage Agent do the heavy lifting.

Yes—you can literally use an intent to create intents. Just start a conversation with our support team and ask for help crafting your next one.
