Notify the new owner in Slack with a handoff summary

On a Front conversation handoff, generate an AI summary and DM it to the newly assigned agent in Slack with a deep link, so they're alerted and briefed in one message.

What it does

When a Front conversation is reassigned, this workflow summarizes the thread and sends the new assignee a Slack direct message containing the brief plus a one-click link back to the conversation. The agent gets pinged where they already work instead of discovering the handoff later in their inbox.

When to use it

Ideal for teams that live in Slack and treat the Front inbox as a queue. Use it when handoffs are time-sensitive and a silent reassignment would otherwise sit unnoticed.

How it works

  1. 1Front fires an `assignee changed` event.
  2. 2The workflow fetches the conversation's messages from Front.
  3. 3An OpenAI call produces a short summary plus a suggested first action.
  4. 4The workflow looks up the new assignee's Slack ID from their email.
  5. 5It sends a Slack DM with the summary, customer name, and a deep link to the Front conversation.
