What it does

Automates planned-maintenance communication: ahead of a scheduled window it writes the customer notice, publishes it, alerts the team, and stages a hotline voice message so callers during the window hear the right context.

When to use it

Use it for recurring or one-off maintenance windows where you want the announcement, internal heads-up, and hotline message to go out on a consistent schedule rather than being written by hand each time.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule trigger fires a configured lead time before the maintenance window start.
  2. 2A logic step pulls the upcoming window's details and skips if no window is within the lookahead range.
  3. 3OpenAI drafts the maintenance notice (scope, expected downtime, timezone) plus a hotline script for the window.
  4. 4The notice is posted to the status-page webhook and a heads-up is sent to a Slack channel.
  5. 5ElevenLabs synthesizes the hotline audio for the window as the final output.
