What it does

It acts as a last-mile guardrail on outbound Zendesk replies. The instant an agent submits a response, it checks any Confluence links in that reply against the live doc status and warns the agent privately if one points at deprecated or removed content.

When to use it

Use it when agents frequently paste doc links freehand or from old saved snippets rather than maintained macros. A periodic macro audit won't catch a one-off bad link an agent typed — this validates every individual reply at send time.

How it works

  1. 1A Zendesk ticket-update webhook fires when an agent posts a public reply.
  2. 2Extract all Confluence URLs from the reply body.
  3. 3Check each link's status in Confluence (live, deprecated, or 404).
  4. 4Branch: if every link is healthy, do nothing; if any is stale, continue.
  5. 5Use OpenAI to write a short, friendly correction suggesting the current page.
  6. 6Add a private internal note on the ticket flagging the stale link and the suggested replacement for the agent.
