Workflow name
Automate Instagram complaint handling with Claude AI, tickets & SLA management

This enterprise-grade n8n workflow automates the Instagram complaint handling process — from detection to resolution — using Claude AI, dynamic ticket assignment, and SLA enforcement. It converts customer complaints in comments into actionable support tickets with auto-assignment, escalation alerts, and full audit trails, ensuring timely responses and improved customer satisfaction with zero manual intervention.

Key Features

  • Real-time Instagram polling for new comments
  • AI-powered complaint detection using Claude 3.5 Sonnet for sentiment and issue classification
  • Automatic ticket creation in Google Sheets (or integrable with Zendesk/Jira)
  • Round-robin assignment to team members from a dynamic roster
  • SLA timer and monitoring (e.g., 24-hour response window with escalation at 80% elapsed)
  • Escalation engine notifies managers via Slack if near breach
  • Multi-channel notifications: Slack for assignees and escalations
  • Audit-ready: Logs ticket details, assignments, and actions
  • Scalable triggers: Webhook or scheduled polling

Workflow Process

Step Node Description
1 Schedule Trigger Runs every 15 minutes or via webhook (/complaint-handler)
2 Get Instagram Posts Fetches recent posts from Instagram Graph API
3 Get Comments Retrieves comments for the latest post
4 Loop Over Comments Processes each comment individually to avoid rate limits
5 Detect Complaint (Claude AI) Uses AI to classify if complaint, extract issue/severity
6 IF Complaint Branches: Proceed if yes, end if no
7 Get Team Members Loads team roster from TeamMembers sheet
8 Assign Ticket Sets assignee via round-robin logic
9 Create Ticket (Google Sheet) Appends new ticket with details and SLA due date
10 Notify Assignee (Slack) Alerts assigned team member
11 Wait for SLA Check Delays to near-SLA-breach point (e.g., 20 hours)
12 Check Ticket Status Looks up ticket status in sheet
13 IF SLA Breach Near Checks if unresolved; escalates if yes
14 Escalate to Manager (Slack) Notifies manager for urgent action
15 End (Non-Complaint Path) Terminates non-complaint branches

Setup Instructions

1. Import Workflow

  • Open n8n → Workflows → Import from Clipboard
  • Paste the JSON workflow

2. Configure Credentials

Integration Details
Instagram API Access token from Facebook Developer Portal
Claude AI Anthropic API key for claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
