What it does

Catches escalations the moment they happen instead of at the next standup, judges whether each one is actually severe (not just reflexively escalated), and wakes up the right person only when it matters.

When to use it

Use it when a slow standup-only summary lets a furious enterprise customer stew for hours. Ideal for teams with a PagerDuty on-call rotation who want signal, not a firehose of every escalation.

How it works

  1. 1A Zendesk webhook fires on every ticket escalation event.
  2. 2An OpenAI step classifies tone and severity, weighing language intensity and account tier into a single 'page-worthy' verdict with a reason.
  3. 3A logic branch checks the verdict: page-worthy escalations continue, routine ones are silently logged and stop.
  4. 4For page-worthy tickets, a PagerDuty incident is created with the customer name, sentiment reason, and ticket link.
  5. 5A parallel Teams message posts a quieter heads-up to the support channel so the wider team has context when they wake up.
