What it does

Every negative Front thread increments a per-customer anger counter in Airtable. The first incident routes normally to the save specialist, but when a customer goes negative a second time inside 30 days, this flow treats it as a pattern: it opens a Linear escalation ticket with the full history and pings a support manager in MS Teams. Repeat dissatisfaction gets management attention before the account is lost.

When to use it

Use it when a single bad day is forgivable but a customer who keeps getting angry needs a manager, not another front-line reply. This catches the second-strike pattern automatically instead of relying on someone to notice.

How it works

  1. 1A negative-scored Front reply fires the trigger.
  2. 2Airtable's anger counter for that customer is incremented and read back.
  3. 3A branch checks whether this is the second-plus negative thread within 30 days.
  4. 4If so, a Linear escalation ticket is created with the conversation links and history.
  5. 5MS Teams alerts the support manager with the customer name and incident count.
