Monitoring Sentiment Analysis for Support Tickets via Linear and Slack
Monitors sentiment regarding support matters by connecting with Linear and Slack, conducting sentiment analysis through OpenAI on comments from Linear, and alerting appropriate Slack channels.
How it works
The workflow titled "Monitoring Sentiment Analysis for Support Tickets via Linear and Slack" operates by integrating multiple services to analyze and monitor sentiment in support tickets. The process begins with the Linear node, which is configured to trigger on new comments made on support tickets. When a comment is detected, the workflow captures the relevant data, including the comment text and associated ticket information.
Next, the workflow utilizes the OpenAI node to perform sentiment analysis on the extracted comment text. This node sends the comment to OpenAI's API, which processes the text and returns a sentiment score along with a sentiment label (e.g., positive, negative, neutral). The output from the OpenAI node is then formatted to prepare it for notification.
Following the sentiment analysis, the workflow employs a conditional node to evaluate the sentiment score. If the sentiment is determined to be negative, the workflow proceeds to send an alert to a designated Slack channel using the Slack node. This notification includes details about the comment, the sentiment analysis results, and a link to the original support ticket in Linear. The workflow effectively creates a feedback loop, ensuring that support teams are promptly informed of any negative sentiments expressed in customer comments.
