Customer Pulse Skill for Claude

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

• Set the date window. Default: last 30 days. If the user specifies a range, use it.

• 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 for the rate-limit pattern.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 for the verbatim anti-pattern.

• 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.

• 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.
