Front Macro-Gap Detector: Tag-Spike Triggered Macro Proposal

When a Front conversation tag spikes in volume, it samples the manual replies under that tag, drafts a candidate macro with an LLM.

What it does

Reacts in near real time to emerging support topics. When a Front tag suddenly gets busy, this workflow inspects the hand-typed replies agents are sending under that tag, recognizes that no macro covers it, and proposes one before the backlog grows.

When to use it

Use it during incidents, launches, or seasonal surges when a new question type appears fast and your existing macros do not cover it. It catches gaps the same day instead of waiting for a weekly review.

How it works

  1. 1A Front event fires when conversations are tagged, and a logic step detects when a tag's volume crosses a spike threshold.
  2. 2The workflow pulls a sample of recent manual replies carrying that tag.
  3. 3An OpenAI step checks whether the answers are consistent enough to template, and if so drafts a single macro covering the topic.
  4. 4A logic gate confirms no existing macro already matches the tag.
  5. 5The proposed macro is posted to Slack with approve/dismiss actions so a lead can greenlight it on the spot.
