Adam Moussa cf23b4a1ce Add Front SLA monitor stack
Scheduled Lambda polls Front every 15 min on weekdays, checks open
conversations for SLA breaches (1hr ack, 1 day action), and sends
tiered Slack alerts — DM the assignee, channel broadcast if unassigned,
or escalate to Adam. DynamoDB dedup prevents repeat notifications.

# front-sla-monitor
Scheduled Lambda that monitors Front conversations for SLA breaches and sends tiered Slack alerts. Runs every 15 minutes on weekdays.
## SLA Rules
| Tier | Threshold | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 business hour without reply | Slack DM the assignee, or post to #front-sla-alerts if unassigned |
| 2 | 1 business day without reply | Slack DM Adam |
Business time counts weekday hours only (Mon-Fri, Eastern time). The SLA clock pauses on Saturday and Sunday.

## AWS Resources
- **Stack:** `front-sla-monitor` (SAM, us-east-1)
- **Lambda:** `front-sla-monitor` — Python 3.12, arm64, 128 MB, 120s timeout, 60-day log retention
- **DynamoDB:** `front-sla-alerts` — tracks alert history per conversation, 7-day TTL
- **EventBridge:** `cron(0/15 * ? * MON-FRI *)` — every 15 min on weekdays
## Setup
### 1. Create the Slack App
1. Go to https://api.slack.com/apps and create **Front SLA Monitor**
2. Add Bot Token Scopes: `chat:write`, `users:read.email`
3. Install the app to your workspace and copy the Bot User OAuth Token
4. Create the `#front-sla-alerts` channel and invite the bot (`/invite @Front SLA Monitor`)
5. Copy the channel ID (right-click channel name > View channel details)
### 2. Create a Front API Token
1. Front > Settings > Developers > API tokens
2. Create a token with conversation read scope
3. Copy the token
### 3. Store Secrets in AWS
```bash
aws secretsmanager create-secret \
--name "front-sla-monitor/front-api-token" \
--secret-string "YOUR_FRONT_API_TOKEN" \
--region us-east-1
aws secretsmanager create-secret \
--name "front-sla-monitor/slack-bot-token" \
--secret-string "xoxb-YOUR-SLACK-BOT-TOKEN" \
--region us-east-1
```
### 4. Deploy
```bash
sam build
sam deploy --guided
```
Or push to `main` to trigger the GitHub Actions deploy workflow.
### 5. GitHub Actions Secrets
| Secret | Value |
|---|---|
| `AWS_DEPLOY_ROLE_ARN` | Org-wide OIDC deploy role (already configured) |
| `SAM_PARAMETER_OVERRIDES` | `FrontApiTokenSecretArn=arn:... SlackBotTokenSecretArn=arn:... SlackAlertChannel=CXXXXXXXXXX` |
## Manual Testing
```bash
aws lambda invoke --function-name front-sla-monitor --payload '{}' /dev/stdout --region us-east-1
```
Check logs:
```bash
aws logs tail /aws/lambda/front-sla-monitor --follow --region us-east-1
```
