CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Agent investigates a support escalation and drafts a reproducible bug report

A Paperclip agent reads an escalated Front conversation, autonomously gathers Sentry traces, Datadog logs, and the customer's session timeline.

  • OutputReply in Front with investigation summaryFront

What it does

Runs an autonomous investigation instead of a fixed pipeline. The agent reads the escalated conversation, decides which signals it needs, and gathers Sentry exceptions, Datadog request logs, and a reconstructed session timeline. It then synthesizes a coherent reproducible bug report with a hypothesis about root cause and files it to Linear.

When to use it

Use for hard escalations where the cause isn't obvious and a static log-pull misses context. Best when you want a first-pass investigation done before an engineer is paged.

How it works

  1. 1A Front conversation is moved to the escalations inbox (trigger).
  2. 2The agent reads the thread and identifies the customer, timeframe, and symptom.
  3. 3It queries Sentry for related exceptions and Datadog for correlated request/error logs around that window, iterating until it has enough to reconstruct a timeline.
  4. 4A logic step has the agent judge whether evidence is sufficient or whether the report should be marked "needs customer info."
  5. 5It writes the structured report with steps, environment, evidence links, and a root-cause hypothesis.
  6. 6It creates the Linear issue and replies in Front summarizing what it found.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect FrontShared inbox, conversations.
  2. 2
    Connect SentryErrors, performance, releases.
  3. 3
    Connect DatadogMetrics, traces, log search.
  4. 4
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
