What it does

Turns a frustrated VIP reply into a real, trackable escalation in Linear. The issue carries the full context (transcript, sentiment, account value) and lands in the owner's queue with a priority set by how angry the message was.

When to use it

Use this when escalations need an audit trail and follow-through, not just a Slack ping that scrolls away. Suits teams who run their work in Linear and want SLA visibility on VIP frustration.

How it works

  1. 1An inbound Intercom reply triggers the workflow.
  2. 2The contact is enriched from Attio for VIP status, account value, and the owning team.
  3. 3OpenAI classifies frustration intensity and extracts the core complaint.
  4. 4A branch drops anything below the anger threshold or any non-VIP contact.
  5. 5For a frustrated VIP, a Linear issue is created with the transcript, sentiment score, and a priority mapped from intensity.
  6. 6The issue is assigned to the account owner's team and labeled VIP-escalation as the final output.
