What it does

Replaces messy written handoffs with a short Loom recap when a how-to ticket needs engineering. On escalation it summarizes what the customer wants and what support already tried, records a Loom walking through the reproduction, opens a Linear issue linking back to the conversation, and notifies the on-call engineer in Slack with the recap video.

When to use it

Use it when support escalations to engineering lose context in text, and you want every handoff to include a clear video recap plus a tracked issue so nothing stalls in a back-and-forth.

How it works

  1. 1An Intercom conversation tagged `escalate-eng` fires the trigger.
  2. 2The flow pulls the full thread, customer environment, and any attempted fixes from Intercom.
  3. 3An LLM step drafts a reproduction-focused recap script for engineering.
  4. 4A Loom action records the recap walkthrough and returns a video URL.
  5. 5An action creates a Linear issue with the recap, Loom link, and Intercom permalink.
  6. 6The final step posts the Linear issue and Loom link to the on-call engineer in Slack.
