What it does

During a real outage, monitoring tools fire dozens of alerts that all describe the same underlying problem. This workflow runs on a short interval, pulls recent alerts from Sentry and Datadog, clusters the ones that point at the same affected service, and produces a single plain-language public draft instead of a flood of near-duplicate updates. The result is filed in Notion for a comms owner to approve.

When to use it

Use it when alert noise makes one-alert-per-update workflows spam your approval channel and confuse customers. This batches the noise into one coherent customer-facing story per affected component.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger runs every few minutes.
  2. 2Action steps fetch recent unresolved Sentry issues and active Datadog alerts.
  3. 3A logic step correlates them by affected service and time window, collapsing duplicates into one incident candidate; if nothing correlates, the run ends.
  4. 4An LLM step drafts one consolidated public update describing the combined impact.
  5. 5The single draft is written to a Notion approval queue, linking every contributing alert for the reviewer.
