What it does

Provides off-hours coverage for the IT help channel. When someone posts after hours, the bot answers routine questions from your Confluence docs as usual. But if the message signals an urgent problem, like a lockout or system outage, it skips the doc answer and triggers a PagerDuty page so a human responds immediately.

When to use it

Use this when your team isn't staffed 24/7 but some issues genuinely can't wait until morning. It keeps the bot helpful for the routine majority while guaranteeing real emergencies escalate to a person instead of sitting unread overnight.

How it works

  1. 1A new Discord message in the help channel triggers the flow.
  2. 2A logic gate checks whether the message arrived outside business hours, exiting if it's during staffed time.
  3. 3An OpenAI call classifies the message as routine or urgent and, if routine, drafts a doc-grounded answer using Confluence content.
  4. 4A logic branch splits on urgency.
  5. 5Routine messages get the cited answer posted to the thread.
  6. 6Urgent messages trigger a PagerDuty incident for on-call and tell the user help is being summoned.
