# Abstract

> Connect DialNexa calls to Abstract for incident, alert, issue, repository, deploy, monitor, log, build, or technical escalation workflows.

Abstract API provides a suite of APIs for developers to automate various tasks, including data validation, enrichment, and more.

<Note>
  Use Abstract with DialNexa when a caller reports a technical failure, API problem, broken workflow, regression, outage, or engineering escalation.
</Note>

## Where Abstract fits in a DialNexa workflow

Abstract should receive DialNexa output when the conversation affects a incident, alert, issue, repository, deploy, monitor, log, build, or technical escalation. The handoff should explain what the caller asked for, what DialNexa learned, which record or object is affected, and who owns the next step.

## What DialNexa should capture for Abstract

* Customer, account, plan, environment, region, product area, endpoint, and error message
* Severity, business impact, affected users, start time, workaround, and urgency
* Steps described by caller, logs referenced, repo, deploy, monitor, alert, owner, and escalation channel
* Transcript link, recording link, DialNexa call ID, support ticket, CRM account, and status page link
* Privacy note, customer-facing update status, and next update time

## High-value Abstract workflows

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Status update should be sent after fix">
    For this workflow, DialNexa should send Abstract a concise, action-ready handoff: matched caller, affected record, reason for the update, urgency, owner, next step, and links to call evidence.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Support needs logs linked to the ticket">
    For this workflow, DialNexa should send Abstract a concise, action-ready handoff: matched caller, affected record, reason for the update, urgency, owner, next step, and links to call evidence.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Customer reports an outage">
    For this scenario, DialNexa should treat Abstract as an escalation destination. Send the impact, urgency, affected customer or object, owner, and transcript link so the right team can act before the issue gets colder.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="API error blocks a workflow">
    DialNexa should write the symptom, expected behavior, actual behavior, affected area, business impact, and evidence links into Abstract. A teammate should be able to triage the issue without replaying the call.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Deployment regression appears after release">
    For this workflow, DialNexa should send Abstract a concise, action-ready handoff: matched caller, affected record, reason for the update, urgency, owner, next step, and links to call evidence.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Caller gives reproducible bug steps">
    DialNexa should write the symptom, expected behavior, actual behavior, affected area, business impact, and evidence links into Abstract. A teammate should be able to triage the issue without replaying the call.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="On-call needs customer impact">
    For this workflow, DialNexa should send Abstract a concise, action-ready handoff: matched caller, affected record, reason for the update, urgency, owner, next step, and links to call evidence.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Use get vat categories">
    Use get vat categories before answering, routing, or creating follow-up. DialNexa should verify the lookup result against the caller and send low-confidence matches to a human queue.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Use email validation and quality check">
    Use email validation and quality check only after DialNexa confirms recipient, consent, channel, message purpose, and the exact follow-up promised during the call.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Implementation notes

* Use the DialNexa call ID as the idempotency key before running Abstract actions.
* Write a short operational summary into Abstract and link to the full transcript or recording for audit.
* Map required fields before launch: destination object, owner, status, urgency, next step, and record URL.
* Create review paths for low-confidence matches, sensitive requests, high-value customers, and actions that change money, access, legal terms, or customer commitments.
