Agent Mode is raum’s fully autonomous operating mode. When a ticket comes in, Zendesk fires a webhook to raum, the full four-step pipeline runs — Understand, Plan, Act, Reply — and raum resolves the ticket without any agent involvement. Your team only sees tickets that couldn’t be resolved automatically or that you’ve configured to require human review. Auto-resolutions are metered by your plan. Copilot Mode usage remains unlimited regardless of whether Agent Mode is active.
Before enabling Agent Mode in production, use Simulation Mode to dry-run the pipeline against real tickets and verify raum’s behavior. This is especially important when you first connect tools that take actions on external systems.

How to enable Agent Mode

Agent Mode is activated by configuring a Zendesk webhook that sends ticket events to raum’s webhook endpoint.
1

Open Settings in the raum dashboard

Go to Settings in the raum dashboard and select the Webhook tab.
2

Copy your webhook URL

raum generates a unique webhook URL for your organization. Copy it from the Webhook settings panel.
3

Configure the webhook in Zendesk

In Zendesk, go to Admin Center → Apps and integrations → Webhooks and create a new webhook. Paste your raum webhook URL as the endpoint.
4

Create a trigger in Zendesk

Create a Zendesk trigger that fires on the events you want raum to process. Set the action to notify the webhook you just created. Configure conditions to limit which tickets trigger Agent Mode (see the section below on routing configuration).
5

Enable Agent Mode in raum Settings

Back in the raum dashboard, go to Settings → AI Mode and enable Agent Mode. Save your changes.

Webhook trigger events

raum’s webhook endpoint accepts the following Zendesk ticket events. You control which events fire the webhook by configuring your Zendesk triggers.
EventWhen it firesCommon use
ticket_createdA new ticket is submittedAuto-resolve incoming tickets immediately
ticket_solvedA ticket is marked as solvedPost-resolution processing, CSAT tracking
ticket_ratedA customer submits a satisfaction ratingOutcome tracking and analytics
Most Agent Mode setups use ticket_created as the primary trigger. Configure your Zendesk trigger conditions to limit which new tickets reach raum — for example, by tag, group, form, or channel.

Configuring which tickets get auto-resolved

You have two layers of control over which tickets raum handles autonomously. Zendesk trigger conditions — set conditions directly on your Zendesk trigger so only matching tickets fire the webhook. For example: only tickets from a specific help center form, or only tickets without a VIP tag, or only tickets assigned to a specific group. Confidence threshold routing — in raum’s AI Mode settings, you can configure what happens when the pipeline produces a low-confidence result. Options include:
  • Route to a human (assign to a queue and skip auto-resolution)
  • Auto-resolve anyway and flag in analytics
  • Always require human review for specific ticket categories
Start with a narrow Zendesk trigger condition — one ticket category or form — to validate Agent Mode behavior before broadening the scope.

Approval flows for critical actions

Some actions are too consequential to execute without oversight. When a tool call in the pipeline would trigger a critical action — processing a refund, modifying an order, or escalating to an external system — raum can pause and wait for agent approval before proceeding. You configure which tool actions require approval in Settings → AI Mode. When approval is required, raum creates a pending action record visible in the dashboard. An agent reviews and approves or rejects the action. If approved, the pipeline resumes from where it paused.
Approval flows require a human to act before the ticket is resolved. Factor this into your response time expectations for ticket categories that include critical actions.

Overage behavior

Each plan includes a monthly auto-resolution quota. When you approach your limit, raum notifies you via the usage alerts system. When you hit the limit, you choose how raum behaves:
raum stops processing new webhook events autonomously. Tickets still come into Zendesk normally, and your team handles them. Copilot Mode continues to work without interruption. Auto-resolutions resume at the start of the next billing cycle.
You configure overage behavior in Settings → Subscription. You can change this setting at any time, including after you’ve already hit your quota.

Simulation Mode

Before you go live with Agent Mode — or when you make changes to procedures, tool connections, or AI settings — use Simulation Mode to verify the pipeline’s behavior without touching real systems. Simulation Mode runs the full four-step pipeline against any ticket you specify. Data lookups (knowledge base searches, read-only API calls) execute normally so you get authentic context. Write operations — anything that would change state in an external system, update a Zendesk ticket, or send a reply — are intercepted and returned as a preview of what would have happened.
1

Open Simulation Mode

Go to Simulate in the raum dashboard. This section is only visible to organization admins.
2

Enter a ticket ID

Paste the Zendesk ticket ID you want to test against. raum fetches the ticket, conversation history, tags, and custom fields directly from Zendesk.
3

Run the simulation

Click Run. The full pipeline executes — Thinker, Planner, Tool Executor, Answerer — and returns a detailed trace of every reasoning step, tool call, and decision the AI made.
4

Review the output

Inspect the simulated reply, the tools that would have been called, and the actions that would have been taken. If anything looks wrong, adjust your procedures or tool configuration and run again before enabling Agent Mode.
Simulation Mode is restricted to organization admins. Regular agents cannot access or trigger simulations, so your production tickets are never affected.

Metering and plan limits

Auto-resolutions are counted per successful end-to-end ticket resolution in Agent Mode. A ticket counts as one auto-resolution when raum submits a reply and closes or resolves the ticket without human intervention.
PlanAuto-resolutions includedOverage rate
Starter200 / month$0.20 each
Growth1,200 / month$0.15 each
Pro4,000 / month$0.10 each
EnterpriseCustomNegotiated
Copilot Mode usage — reply generation, rewrites, translations, grammar checks, and ticket enrichment — is unlimited on every plan and is never counted against your auto-resolution quota.
Even with Agent Mode active, Copilot Mode remains fully available to your agents. Tickets that raum escalates or routes to a human appear in Zendesk as normal open tickets, and your agents can use Copilot Mode to handle them.
