What it does

Whenever a Front conversation is tagged `at-risk` or a reply scores strongly negative, it extracts the customer details and uses OpenAI to summarize the complaint and assign a root-cause category (pricing, bug, support delay, feature gap). It then writes a structured row to an Airtable churn tracker so retention and product leads have a clean dataset of who is unhappy and why, rather than digging through inbox archives.

When to use it

Use it when you want angry threads to become durable, reportable data instead of vanishing once they are resolved. Perfect for teams running a weekly save-rate review or feeding churn signals to product.

How it works

  1. 1A Front conversation gets tagged `at-risk` or a reply crosses the negative threshold, firing the trigger.
  2. 2The flow pulls the conversation, customer email, and assignee from Front.
  3. 3OpenAI summarizes the complaint in one line and classifies the root cause.
  4. 4A branch deduplicates against existing open records for the same customer.
  5. 5A new or updated row lands in the Airtable churn tracker with score, category, quote, and link.
