How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • ActionList open Front conversations with timestampsFront
  • LogicBucket by within-SLA / warning / breached
  • OutputPost warning-tier batch to SlackSlack
  • OutputPage breached conversations via PagerDutyPagerDutyPagerDuty

What it does

It replaces the manual habit of refreshing the inbox to see what is going stale. On a schedule it grades every open conversation against your SLA tiers and routes each one to the right response — a gentle Slack nudge when a conversation is approaching its limit, and a PagerDuty page only when it has actually breached.

When to use it

Use it when Front is your shared inbox and you want proactive, tiered escalation rather than waiting for per-event webhooks. Good for teams with mixed-priority queues that need both soft warnings and hard pages.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger runs the sweep every hour.
  2. 2The flow lists open Front conversations and their last-activity timestamps.
  3. 3A logic step buckets each into within-SLA, warning, or breached using your thresholds.
  4. 4Warning-tier conversations are posted to a Slack channel as a batched reminder.
  5. 5Breached conversations open individual PagerDuty incidents for the on-call owner.
