What it does

Watches public conversation about your brand and turns a sudden surge of negative sentiment into a single, actionable Linear issue so it lands with the right team instead of getting lost in a notification feed.

When to use it

Run this when you need an early-warning system for reputation problems — a botched release, a viral complaint, a pricing change gone sideways. It only fires when negativity actually spikes, so your team isn't paged for routine grumbling.

How it works

  1. 1On a schedule, an Apify actor scrapes recent public mentions of your brand handles and keywords.
  2. 2Each mention is sent to OpenAI for a sentiment score and a one-line reason.
  3. 3A logic step compares the rolling negative-mention rate against your stored baseline; if it clears the spike threshold, the flow continues, otherwise it exits quietly.
  4. 4OpenAI clusters the negative posts into a short root-cause summary and picks the most likely owning team (product, support, or trust).
  5. 5A Linear issue is created with the summary, the worst three quoted posts, the sentiment delta, and the suggested assignee.
