What it does

It evaluates tone in real time as customers reply mid-conversation. When a single reply swings sharply negative relative to the thread so far, it pages the account owner in Slack instantly so a rep can jump in before the conversation goes sideways.

When to use it

Use this for high-touch accounts where a live thread turning hostile warrants an immediate human, not a next-day task. It is the fast-twitch counterpart to the batched digest.

How it works

  1. 1A new Intercom conversation reply fires the webhook.
  2. 2The flow loads the running thread and identifies the company and owner.
  3. 3OpenAI scores the new message against the thread baseline and detects sharp negative swings.
  4. 4A branch fires only when the swing exceeds the alert threshold.
  5. 5It looks up the owner's Slack handle from the account record.
  6. 6An escalation message lands in the owner's channel with the quote, swing magnitude, and a deep link to the live Intercom thread.
