Avg time from flag to routing

The Problem

A customer complaint, a legal issue, and a PR risk all need different teams, different speeds, and different handling. When everything flows into one inbox, important items get buried. When every flagged comment requires a human to triage, your fastest responders are always the bottleneck.

The Solution

FeedGuardians routes flagged comments to the right team automatically based on AI classification plus your custom rules. A complaint about product quality goes to CX. A comment challenging brand disclosure goes to legal. A viral negative cluster goes to PR. Each team sees only what they need, with full context and SLA tracking.

Capabilities

Everything the workflowincludes

Classification-based routing

Complaints route to CX. Legal references route to legal. Sentiment spikes route to PR. Product questions route to CX or auto-reply based on complexity.

Per-team queues with own SLAs

Each receiving team has its own queue, its own SLA, its own reviewers, and its own notification channel. No cross-contamination.

Cross-team handoff

CX picks up a complaint, realizes it's a brand risk, and hands it off to PR with one click. The handoff preserves all context and audit trail.

Slack, email, PagerDuty routing

Escalations route to whichever channel each team uses. Slack channels for day-to-day, PagerDuty for after-hours critical, email for async.

Priority escalation

Some comments need immediate response. Priority rules fire alerts directly to on-call rotations for the right team without waiting for queue pickup.

Resolution tracking

Every escalation is tracked from flag to resolution with response time, action taken, and outcome. Quarterly reports show team response performance.

How it flows

From comment to resolution

01

AI classifies and flags

AI identifies the comment type: complaint, legal reference, PR risk, product question, brand safety issue, etc.

02

Routing rule applies

Based on classification plus your custom rules (brand, region, severity), the comment routes to the right team's queue.

03

Team notified in preferred channel

The receiving team gets a Slack, email, or PagerDuty alert with full comment context, classification reasoning, and SLA clock.

04

Team responds or hands off

Team takes action: respond, escalate internally, hand off to another team, or close. Every decision is logged.

FAQ

Common questions

In the dashboard, you build routing rules using a simple IF-THEN builder. "If classification = product_complaint AND region = US → route to #cx-us Slack channel with 15-min SLA." Rules can chain, stack, and prioritize. No code required.

Yes. If a comment matches multiple rules (e.g., both a product complaint and a legal reference), it routes to every matching team simultaneously. The first team to resolve it closes the escalation for everyone.

Configurable escalation. When an SLA is about to breach, an alert fires to the team lead or the on-call rotation. If the SLA fully breaches, the comment can auto-escalate to the next team in the chain or to a designated backup queue.

Yes. FeedGuardians can create tickets in Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, or any ticketing system with a webhook API. Every escalated comment becomes a ticket with full context, linked back to the comment in FeedGuardians.

Yes. The escalation timeline shows every action: when the AI flagged it, when it routed, who picked it up, what actions were taken, and when it was closed. Great for post-incident reviews and compliance audits.

Yes. Critical-severity escalations fire to PagerDuty or Opsgenie on-call rotations regardless of business hours. Non-critical escalations queue up and get picked up in the morning.
