How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • ActionSummarize request in EnglishOpenAI
  • ActionTag conversation 'unsupported language' in FrontFront

What it does

Some languages have no dedicated agent. Instead of letting those conversations stall silently, this template catches them: it detects the language, checks it against your list of covered teams, and for anything unsupported it flags the conversation in Front and alerts a Slack triage channel with an English summary so a human can decide who handles it.

When to use it

Use it when your regional coverage is incomplete and you want a guaranteed escalation path for rare or unexpected languages, rather than discovering an aging conversation days later. It pairs well with the standard regional-routing template, catching only the cases that template can't auto-route.

How it works

  1. 1A new conversation in the watched Front inbox triggers the flow.
  2. 2OpenAI returns the detected language code and confidence.
  3. 3A branch checks the language against your supported-team list; covered languages exit here.
  4. 4For uncovered languages, OpenAI generates an English summary of the request.
  5. 5Front applies an "unsupported language" tag so the conversation is visible in filters.
  6. 6A Slack message posts to the triage channel with the language, summary, and a link to the conversation.
