How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerNegative reaction or stale-thread timeout in DiscordDiscordDiscord

  • LogicConfirm thread is unresolved and not yet escalated
  • ActionCreate triaged Linear issueLinearLinear
  • OutputNotify asker in Discord threadDiscordDiscord

What it does

Some questions the bot can't resolve, and some answers users reject. This workflow catches both: a help thread with no accepted answer after a timeout, or one where the asker reacts negatively. It packages the thread and files a Linear issue so nothing falls through the cracks.

When to use it

Use it alongside an autoresponder when you need a guaranteed human safety net. Good for teams that triage community support in Linear and want unresolved threads to become tracked, assignable work.

How it works

  1. 1A negative reaction or a stale-thread timeout in Discord triggers the flow.
  2. 2The full thread transcript and asker metadata are collected from Discord.
  3. 3OpenAI summarizes the problem, suggests a category, and proposes a priority.
  4. 4A check confirms the thread is genuinely unresolved and not already escalated.
  5. 5A Linear issue is created with the summary, transcript, suggested labels, and a back-link to the Discord thread.
  6. 6The bot posts a short note in the thread letting the asker know a human is now on it.
