Quick Answer
This template receives an inbound webhook, runs the payload through an AI classifier (urgent, billing, generic), and sends a routed email. AI nodes are included free on Requex — no OpenAI billing setup needed.

Setup
- 1
Generate a Requex webhook URL
Open Requex.me, copy the URL.
- 2
Wire your source to send webhooks
Point Zendesk, your contact form, Intercom — anything that emits webhooks — at the Requex URL.
- 3
Load the template
Workflows tab → load the AI classify template. Five nodes pre-wired.
- 4
Configure the AI Classify node
The node ships with three categories: urgent, billing, generic. Edit the labels to match your team. The AI runs on the included free tier — no OpenAI API key required.
- 5
Set email routing
Click the Switch node. Each branch ends in an Email node — set the recipient address per category (e.g. urgent → oncall@, billing → finance@, generic → support@).
- 6
Test with a sample payload
Use Requex's request replay feature: send a test payload, watch the AI classification in the run trace, and confirm the email arrives at the right address.
Why Requex for this
Zapier charges per task — every AI step counts. n8n requires you to bring your own OpenAI key with its own billing. Requex includes AI Classify and AI Text nodes in the free tier with no separate API account.
