Route vendor outage alerts by app
Use AI to spot vendor status emails in the IT inbox, match third party outage and resolution updates to the affected app, and send the app owner a downtime notification in team chat as part of your incident communication.
Copied
When an email arrives in [IT alerts mailbox, e.g. shared Gmail or Outlook inbox], the automation sends only the sender and subject to [AI model provider] with a short classification prompt on a low cost model, and stops unless the email is a vendor status update. For vendor emails, it sends the full message to [AI model provider] to extract the vendor, the affected product, and a short impact summary, and to classify the email as an incident or a resolution, skipping any other update. It then looks up the affected app's owner in [app inventory, e.g. SaaS management platform, Google Sheets, Airtable] and sends the owner a direct message in [team chat platform, e.g. Slack, Microsoft Teams] with the status and summary.

Problem
IT teams receive vendor status emails about outages and service problems in a shared inbox, then work out which internal app is affected, look up its owner, and forward the news by hand. Updates sit unread when the team is busy, so app owners hear about vendor outages from colleagues and cannot warn users in time.

Solution
When an email arrives in the IT alerts mailbox, the automation uses AI to check only the sender and subject, and stops unless it is a vendor status update. For vendor emails, it uses AI to read the full message, extract the vendor, affected product, and impact summary, and classify it as an incident or a resolution, skipping any other update. It then looks up the app owner in the app inventory and messages them in team chat with the status and summary.

Report LLM spend against budgets
Every week, the automation pulls each employee's AI usage and cost for the current month from the AI platform's usage reports and reads their monthly budget, team, and manager from the budget sheet. It emails each employee a report of their usage against their budget. It then totals usage by team, compares each total with the team budget, and emails each manager a team report showing spend against budget and the employees who exceeded theirs.

Route access requests to owners
When an employee sends an access request in team chat, an AI agent interprets it, identifies the specific app or resource being requested even when described informally, and locates the appropriate owner from an internal registry. The agent then routes the request to that owner with the relevant context for approval.

Assign backlog tickets to owners
On a recurring schedule, an AI agent reviews unassigned tickets in the project tracker backlog, interprets the context of each one, and weighs it against team assignment criteria to identify the most appropriate owner. It assigns each ticket to that team member and moves its status from backlog to active.
