What it does

This is a just-in-time guardrail. The instant an agent applies a macro to a ticket, a webhook fires a fast check that pulls the macro's linked Confluence article and asks the LLM whether the canned text still holds. If it contradicts the current doc, the agent gets an immediate private warning with the discrepancy so they can edit before the customer ever sees it.

When to use it

Use it when the cost of sending an outdated answer is high (compliance, billing, legal) and you want correction at the point of use rather than after the fact. Best for high-volume queues where periodic audits are too slow to prevent bad replies going out.

How it works

  1. 1A Zendesk webhook fires when a macro is applied to a ticket.
  2. 2Fetch the linked help-center article's current body from Confluence.
  3. 3The LLM judges whether the applied macro contradicts the live article and returns a confidence score.
  4. 4If alignment is fine, the run ends with no interruption.
  5. 5On contradiction above threshold, send the agent an immediate Slack DM naming the conflict and the corrected phrasing to use instead.
