Triage brand crises with OpenAI, Telegram, Slack, and Google Sheets
Go to WorkflowDescription
Quick overview
This workflow receives negative brand mentions via webhook, uses OpenAI to classify crisis severity and draft a holding statement, logs incidents to Google Sheets, and notifies approvers and teams via Telegram and Slack with severity-based escalation plus an approval callback to mark incidents approved or rejected.
How it works
Receives a POST webhook containing a brand mention, source, sentiment score, and related metadata.
Normalizes the incoming payload, generates a unique incident ID, and prepares the fields used for triage and notifications.
Uses OpenAI (gpt-4o-mini) to classify the incident severity as low, medium, or high, then uses OpenAI again to draft a short holding statement.
Appends the incident details, severity, drafted response, and a Pending status to a Google Sheets incident log.
Routes notifications by severity, sending a Telegram message to the approver for all incidents, adding a Slack alert to the PR team for medium/high, and escalating to an executive Slack channel for high.
Listens for a Telegram inline-button callback and updates the corresponding Google Sheets row to Approved or Rejected, while sending a confirmation message back to the approver.
If any step fails, posts an error alert to a designated Slack channel with execution details.
Setup
Add OpenAI API credentials for the severity classification and response drafting steps.
Connect Google Sheets OAuth2, create a sheet with the required columns, and replace YOUR_GOOGLE_SHEET_ID in all Google Sheets steps.
Connect Telegram Bot credentials and set the approver chat ID (YOUR_TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID) used for approver notifications.
Connect Slack OAuth2 and replace the channel IDs for the PR team, executive escalation, and error-alert channels.
Copy the production webhook URL from the crisis-signal trigger and configure your brand monitoring tool (or source system) to POST mentions to it.
