What it does

Runs a daily reconciliation between what customers report and what monitoring catches. It counts outage-related Intercom conversations from the prior 24 hours, lines them up against Datadog's alert history, and posts a Microsoft Teams digest highlighting recurring customer pain that telemetry is silent on — your monitoring blind spots.

When to use it

When the same "it's slow" or "keeps timing out" reports trickle in daily but never breach a monitor. This surfaces under-instrumented services and chronic low-grade degradation before they become outages.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger fires once daily.
  2. 2An Intercom action pulls and categorizes the last 24h of outage-themed conversations by service and symptom.
  3. 3A Datadog action retrieves the same window's triggered alerts and events.
  4. 4A logic step diffs the two: matched (reports + alerts), unmatched-customer (reports, no alert = blind spot), unmatched-monitor (alert, no reports).
  5. 5A Microsoft Teams output posts the ranked digest, leading with the top blind-spot services.
