# Customer Pulse
## Quick start
Ask: *"How are customers feeling this month?"*
Claude pulls disputes, tickets, email threads, and Intercom conversations for the last 30 days, groups them into 3–5 themes with verbatim evidence, and delivers a "do these 3 things this week" action list.
To include Google/Yelp reviews, paste them after triggering — or say "I have some reviews to add."
## Workflow
1. **Set the date window.** Default: last 30 days. If the user specifies a range, use it.
2. **Pull PayPal disputes.** Fetch disputes opened in the window. If the PayPal API returns a rate-limit error, skip and add `PayPal: rate-limited — not included` to the Sources section. Do not retry; do not error. See [reference/gotchas.md](reference/gotchas.md) for the rate-limit pattern.
3. **Pull HubSpot tickets and feedback.** Fetch open and recently closed tickets. If 0 tickets exist, record `HubSpot tickets: 0` and continue — do not surface a warning.
4. **Pull Gmail threads.** Search for threads in the window containing: `refund cancel unhappy issue problem disappointed frustrated broken late slow wrong missing`. Extract subject lines and 1–2 sentence excerpts per thread.
5. **Pull Intercom conversations.** Call `search_conversations` to fetch open and recently closed conversations. Then call `get_conversation` for each conversation ID returned to access the full `conversation_parts`. Extract parts where `author.type === 'user'` — these are customer messages. Exclude parts where `author.type` is `admin` or `bot`.
6. **Accept pasted reviews (optional).** If the user pastes Google or Yelp review text, include it in the source pool tagged as `[Review]`. No connector required.
7. **Extract themes.** Group all evidence into 3–5 recurring themes. Each theme must include:
- A one-sentence label (e.g., "Shipping delays causing repeat complaints")
- 2–3 verbatim quotes with source tags: `[PayPal]`, `[HubSpot]`, `[Gmail]`, `[Intercom]`, or `[Review]`
- A signal count (how many items touch this theme)
Verbatim quotes are non-negotiable — never paraphrase. See [reference/gotchas.md](reference/gotchas.md) for the verbatim anti-pattern.
8. **Generate the "do these 3 things" list.** Rank themes by signal count. Pick the top 3 and write one concrete, owner-actionable step per theme. Format as a numbered checklist.
9. **Deliver the report.** Structure the output with these sections in order:
- **Header** — H2 with "Customer Pulse" and the date range.
- **Sources pulled** — Bullet list with signal counts per source (PayPal
disputes, HubSpot tickets, Gmail threads, Intercom conversations, pasted
reviews). Note any source that was rate-limited and skipped.
- **Themes** — For each theme, show a bold numbered theme label with the
signal count, followed by two verbatim quotes as blockquotes, each
attributed to its source.
- **Do these 3 things this week** — Numbered list of three concrete,
owner-actionable steps, each tied to one of the top themes.
