Shared Mailbox Coverage Gap Triage Agent

Agent-driven flow that on a Teams alert investigates which shared mailboxes are uncovered right now, reasons about why (no auto-reply, no on-call assignee, or a backlog spike).

What it does

When a coverage-gap alert lands in Teams, an agent picks it up and investigates the live state across your shared Outlook mailboxes. It reads each mailbox's auto-reply config, current unanswered backlog, and on-call assignment data from Postgres, then reasons about the root cause of the gap and drafts a concrete remediation plan, which it records and posts back to the channel.

When to use it

Use it when coverage gaps have more than one cause and a flat alert is not enough. The agent distinguishes a missing auto-reply from an unstaffed rotation from a volume spike, and recommends the right fix instead of just reporting the symptom.

How it works

  1. 1A Teams message in the coverage-alert channel triggers the agent.
  2. 2The agent reads auto-reply settings and current backlog for each shared mailbox via the Outlook API.
  3. 3It queries Postgres for the on-call assignment and recent volume baseline.
  4. 4It reasons over the evidence to classify each gap's root cause.
  5. 5It drafts a remediation plan (enable auto-reply, reassign on-call, or surge staffing) and records it to Postgres.
  6. 6It replies in the Teams thread with the diagnosis and recommended actions.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect Microsoft TeamsChannels, chats, files.
  2. 2
    Connect OutlookMail, calendar, contacts.
  3. 3
    Connect PostgresAny Postgres URL — query, write, migrate.
  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.
