What it does

When the concierge bot cannot answer a question with confidence, or a member replies that the answer didn't help, this workflow escalates the thread into Linear as a triaged issue. It captures the question, the attempted answer, the member, and a permalink so an engineer or support lead can pick it up with full context.

When to use it

Use this as the safety net behind your auto-answer bot. It guarantees every unsolved community question becomes a tracked work item instead of dying in a Discord backlog.

How it works

  1. 1The trigger fires when a thread is marked low-confidence or a member reacts with an unresolved signal.
  2. 2A branch checks whether an open Linear issue already links to this thread to avoid duplicates.
  3. 3If new, the workflow summarizes the conversation and proposed answer attempts.
  4. 4It creates a Linear issue with the summary, member handle, severity guess, and a Discord permalink.
  5. 5The bot posts back in the thread confirming a human has been looped in, with the issue reference.
