Support escalation check
Goes through open customer requests every day and flags the cases a person should take over, each with a ready handover note.

At a glance
- Trigger
- Twice a day, for example at 9 am and 2 pm.
- Goal
- Every open case that meets a handover rule is with a person, with a short note.
- Check
- Every flag names the rule that applied. The note only contains what is in the conversation.
- Stop condition
- All open requests are checked.
- Approval
- Yes. The loop never replies to customers itself and closes no cases. A person takes over every flagged case.
- Memory
- List of cases already handed over and the current version of the handover rules.

- Read the open requests since the last run from [ticket system or inbox].
- Check each request against the handover rules: the customer asks for a person, no supported answer in the help articles, a topic on the [sensitive topics] list, clear frustration, or the same question for the second time.
- For each flagged case, write a handover note: the request in one sentence, steps so far, the open question and a suggested urgency.

Read the open requests since the last run from [ticket system or inbox]. 2. Check each request against the handover rules: the customer asks for a person, no supported answer in the help articles, a topic on the [sensitive topics] list, clear frustration, or the same question for the second time. 3. For each flagged case, write a handover note: the request in one sentence, steps so far, the open question and a suggested urgency. ## Check Every flag names the rule that applied. The note only contains what is in the conversation. ## Stop condition All open requests are checked. ## Approval Yes. The loop never replies to customers itself and closes no cases. A person takes over every flagged case. ## Memory List of cases already handed over and the current version of the handover rules. ## Result - Case, rule, handover note, urgency - Cases with no clear rule that you should look at ## Rules - Stick to the stop condition. If the goal is not reached after the set number of rounds, stop and report what is missing. - Never send, delete, pay or publish anything without my approval.

Building blocks
A loop uses skills, agents and prompts. Add the matching skills so every round follows the same instructions.

Where the loop runs
Chat assistant with a schedule
ChatGPT offers scheduled tasks, Gemini offers schedules. Simple scheduled loops run there without other tools. Availability depends on plan and region.
No-code automation
In n8n, Make or Zapier you build trigger, AI step, check and approval as a workflow. n8n has its own evaluations for this.

Coding agents
Claude Code has commands for interval loops, goal-based loops and scheduled routines. Codex has goals with a budget, Cursor has Automations on a schedule or event.
Vendors change features and plans often. The vendor's help page is what counts.
Keep an eye on costs
Every round uses compute. Subscriptions often have usage limits; with API access you pay per request. Limit the number of rounds and calculate beforehand.
Common mistakes
- No stop condition: the loop keeps running and uses compute without ever finishing.
- No real check: the assistant reports success although nobody looked.
- Too much freedom: the loop sends or changes something you wanted to see first.
