Every morning, scans Honeycomb for the worst latency spikes from the prior day, picks the slowest representative trace for each.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerScheduled run each morning for the prior 24 hours
  • ActionPull p99 latency by endpoint with representative trace IDsHoneycomb
  • LogicKeep only endpoints that breached their latency threshold
  • ActionFetch span waterfalls for each surviving traceHoneycomb
  • ActionWrite a per-endpoint plain-English spike summaryOpenAI
  • OutputAppend the dated digest to a Notion pageNotionNotion

What it does

Each morning it looks back over yesterday's traffic in Honeycomb, finds the endpoints whose p99 latency spiked, grabs a representative slow trace for each, and turns the whole picture into a readable digest in Notion. Product and leadership get a standing record of where the app felt slow, in language they can act on.

When to use it

Use it when leadership wants a recurring, low-effort pulse on performance without learning Honeycomb. It replaces the weekly 'how's latency?' Slack thread with a dated Notion page anyone can skim.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger fires every morning for the previous 24 hours.
  2. 2Honeycomb returns p99 latency by endpoint plus the slowest trace ID behind each spike.
  3. 3A logic step filters to endpoints that breached their threshold and drops the noise.
  4. 4For each survivor, Honeycomb fetches the span waterfall of its representative trace.
  5. 5OpenAI writes one short paragraph per endpoint: what got slow, by how much, and the likely culprit span in plain terms.
  6. 6The combined digest is appended as a dated entry on a Notion page.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect HoneycombDistributed traces and queries.
  2. 2
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  3. 3
    Connect NotionPages, databases, comments.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
