What it does

Monitors Intercom conversations, scores cumulative frustration across the recent exchange with an LLM, and when a customer crosses a frustration threshold it triggers a PagerDuty incident routed to the on-call CSM so a human jumps in before the thread blows up.

When to use it

Use it for high-value or enterprise accounts where a single bad conversation warrants a real-time page rather than a queue entry. Best when you already run an on-call CSM rotation.

How it works

  1. 1A new customer reply in an Intercom conversation fires the trigger.
  2. 2OpenAI scores cumulative frustration over the last several messages, not just the latest one.
  3. 3A logic branch fires only when the frustration score exceeds the threshold and the account is a paid tier.
  4. 4PagerDuty opens an incident with the conversation summary, routed to the on-call CSM schedule.
  5. 5The flow posts an internal Intercom note so any watching rep knows escalation is in flight.
