What it does

This workflow combines two leading churn signals — an angry support ticket and declining usage — into a single high-confidence renewal-risk escalation. A frustrated customer who is also disengaging is the most likely to leave, so this fires a real-time alert rather than waiting for a nightly batch.

When to use it

Use it for high-value accounts where a single bad support experience near renewal can tip the deal. Best when support runs on Zendesk and CRM lives in HubSpot.

How it works

  1. 1A new or updated Zendesk ticket triggers the run.
  2. 2The ticket text is classified for negative sentiment and frustration.
  3. 3A logic step checks the linked HubSpot company for a downward usage trend and near-term renewal.
  4. 4If both sentiment is negative and the account is at risk, the run continues; otherwise it stops.
  5. 5A renewal-risk event with ticket and trend context is logged on the HubSpot company.
  6. 6A PagerDuty incident is raised to the account team for same-day follow-up.
