Automate Support & Moderation with Zapier Templates
A safe and well-moderated community builds trust. Effective moderation requires fast signal detection, clear ownership, and a reliable audit trail.
The Support & Moderation templates pack converts routine triage into automated workflows. Your team can escalate unanswered posts, DM admins when sensitive keywords appear, notify moderators in Slack, and mirror helpdesk tickets into Bettermode—all without manual copy-pasting.
Quick Start
- Pick a template from the list below and note the Zap name and URL.
- Open the Zap and connect Bettermode plus any required apps.
- Customize filters and targets (for example, which Slack channel to notify, or which admin to DM).
- Test the Zap once, then publish it.
- Monitor the Zapier Task History and fine-tune filters and destinations as needed.

Troubleshooting
Zendesk tickets aren't being created.
Reconnect Zendesk in Zapier and confirm that the correct Zendesk project and custom fields are mapped. Then retest with a real post, or restrict triggers to your Support space only.
Slack alerts are too noisy. How do we reduce volume?
Add a Filter step to limit alerts. For example, continue only if Space = Support or Tag = urgent. You can also route alerts to a dedicated moderation channel.
Intercom posts aren't appearing in Bettermode.
Reconnect Intercom in Zapier and ensure the correct workspace and app are selected. Then confirm that the Bettermode target space mapping is correct.
