IT OPS

Detect urgent shared-mailbox emails and escalate critical ones to PagerDuty

Scores each new shared-mailbox email for urgency, files normal requests as ClickUp tasks, and pages on-call via PagerDuty when an email signals an outage or critical incident.

What it does

Reads every email in the shared mailbox, has an LLM rate its urgency and incident type, and splits the path: routine requests become ClickUp tasks, while anything flagged critical (outage, data loss, security event) opens a PagerDuty incident so on-call is woken immediately.

When to use it

Use it when your shared mailbox occasionally carries genuine emergencies buried among normal requests, and you can't afford to wait for someone to read them. Best for teams running on-call rotations in PagerDuty alongside a ClickUp work queue.

How it works

  1. 1A new email lands in the Outlook shared mailbox.
  2. 2OpenAI classifies it and returns an urgency score plus an incident category.
  3. 3A logic branch checks the score against your critical threshold.
  4. 4If critical, a PagerDuty incident is triggered with the summary and sender details.
  5. 5If not, a ClickUp task is created in the standard intake queue.
  6. 6Either way, the outcome (paged or queued) is recorded for audit.
