How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • OutputPost heads-up to VIP-support SlackSlack

What it does

Applies tighter, louder handling to your highest-value conversations. It filters open Front threads down to those linked to VIP or enterprise accounts, predicts which will breach SLA within 30 minutes, and escalates them as a PagerDuty incident so the on-call lead intervenes personally rather than letting an auto-reassign decide.

When to use it

Use it when some accounts carry contractual or relationship stakes where a missed SLA is a real problem, and you want a human owner paged the moment one is at risk — not just shuffled to whoever is free.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule fires every 5 minutes.
  2. 2List open Front conversations and keep only those carrying a VIP or enterprise tag.
  3. 3Compute remaining SLA minutes and filter to threads breaching within 30 minutes.
  4. 4Branch out any conversation already snoozed or assigned to the on-call lead to avoid duplicate pages.
  5. 5For each remaining at-risk VIP thread, trigger a PagerDuty incident with the account, deadline, and conversation link.
  6. 6Drop a heads-up with the same details into the VIP-support Slack channel.
