Draft KB articles from Intercom chats only when none already covers them

When an Intercom conversation closes, checks whether an existing help-center article already answers it before drafting; if there's a gap, it writes a new article and routes it…

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does

Guards against documenting the same thing twice. Each closed Intercom conversation is matched against your existing knowledge base; the workflow only drafts a new article when no good match exists, then posts the proposal to a Slack review channel with an approve/skip prompt.

When to use it

Use it when your help center already has decent coverage and you want to fill genuine gaps rather than create redundant pages. The Slack sign-off step suits teams that prefer lightweight approval in chat over a separate editorial queue.

How it works

  1. 1An Intercom conversation is closed, triggering the run.
  2. 2The flow grabs the conversation transcript and extracts the core question.
  3. 3It searches existing Intercom help-center articles for a semantic match using OpenAI embeddings.
  4. 4A branch checks the match score: if an article already covers the topic, the run stops and logs a skip.
  5. 5If the topic is uncovered, OpenAI drafts a new article with title, summary, and steps.
  6. 6The draft is posted to a Slack editor channel with the source thread and approve/skip actions for a human decision.
