What it does

Monitors Intercom for conversations that miss their target response time and responds proactively. The agent gauges how frustrated the customer is from the thread, chooses a remediation tier (acknowledgment, small credit, or escalation to a human specialist), and replies in-conversation — tagging the thread so leads can audit what was offered.

When to use it

Use it for live-chat support where a slow reply is itself the breach and an immediate, sentiment-aware acknowledgment beats a delayed perfect one. Best when you trust the agent to send low-tier offers unattended and only escalate the angry cases.

How it works

  1. 1An Intercom conversation-SLA event triggers the flow.
  2. 2The flow pulls the conversation transcript and contact attributes.
  3. 3The agent scores sentiment and maps it to a remediation tier.
  4. 4A branch routes high-anger threads to a human-handoff path instead of auto-replying.
  5. 5For the rest, the agent posts the tiered offer as a reply in Intercom.
  6. 6It applies a tag recording the tier and reasoning for later review.
