What it does

This workflow is an early-warning system for reputation crises. It tracks how many negative mentions arrive per interval, and when the rate jumps abnormally it pages the on-call comms owner and opens a coordination thread before the situation snowballs.

When to use it

Use it when a single bad post is fine but a sudden surge is an emergency: an outage, a viral complaint, or a bad headline. Routine routing misses velocity; this catches the spike specifically and treats it like an incident.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule triggers an Apify scrape of recent mentions every few minutes.
  2. 2An OpenAI call labels each mention's sentiment, then the workflow counts negatives in the current window.
  3. 3A branch compares the negative count against a baseline threshold and only proceeds on a spike.
  4. 4A PagerDuty incident is created with the count, sample posts, and links.
  5. 5A Slack message opens a war-room thread tagging the comms team so response can coordinate.
