Daily margin-breach alert to Slack when a cohort crosses the line
Checks BigQuery cohort margins daily and, only when a cohort drops below the gross-margin floor.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerDaily schedule
- ActionQuery current cohort margins in BigQueryBigQuery
- LogicStop unless a cohort is below the margin floor
- ActionPull cost-line breakdown for breaching cohortsBigQuery
- ActionSummarize likely driver with OpenAIOpenAI
- OutputPost drill-down alert to Slack finance channelSlack
What it does
Every morning it queries BigQuery for the latest cohort gross margins and tests each against a configured floor. If no cohort breaches, the run ends silently. If one does, it pulls the cost breakdown for that cohort, has an LLM name the most likely driver, and posts a short alert to Slack so finance can react same-day instead of at month-end.
When to use it
Use it when month-end is too late and you need an early-warning tripwire on margin. Best for teams who want zero noise on normal days and a sharp, actionable ping only when a cohort actually crosses the threshold.
How it works
- 1A daily schedule runs the check.
- 2BigQuery returns current margin per cohort.
- 3A logic gate stops the run unless at least one cohort is below the floor.
- 4BigQuery pulls the cost-line breakdown for each breaching cohort.
- 5OpenAI summarizes the likely driver in one or two sentences.
- 6Slack posts the alert to the finance channel.

- 3Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
- 4Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
- 5Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
- 6Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
