How Quivly's AI Agents Spot an Unhappy Services Customer and Draft the Recovery Message

Quivly's AI agents do exactly this, and the workflow below is for the leaders who need it most: professional-services, customer-implementation, and customer-success teams whose unhappy customers hide inside emails, call recordings, support tickets, and stalled projects. Quivly connects those signals, scores every account, and drafts the recovery email or Slack message for the project lead to review and send.

Introduction

An unhappy services customer rarely announces the problem. Frustration shows up in the tone of a renewal call, a curt reply in an email thread, a slipping CSAT score, a stalled implementation, a quiet drop in product usage. Each signal lands in a different system, so the full picture comes together late, usually after someone manually reconstructs the account's recent history.

Quivly closes that gap with agents that do two things in one loop: surface churn-risk and expansion signals per account, and draft the next action. Connect your CRM, billing, support desk, call recorders, email, and product usage data, and Quivly scores every customer, flags the accounts sliding into risk, and writes the recovery email or Slack message for the project lead. This article walks through that workflow end to end: what Quivly reads, how it decides an account is at risk, and what the project lead actually receives.

Who this is for

This workflow is for the leaders Quivly serves: professional-services leaders, customer-implementation leaders, customer-success leaders, and customer-engineering leaders.

It fits the problems they report most often:

• Fragmented account data. Revenue, usage, calls, emails, tickets, and projects live in separate tools, so nobody sees the whole account.
• Delayed visibility into churn and stalled onboarding. The risk is visible in the data long before it is visible in a meeting.
• Manual reporting. Hours go into assembling account summaries instead of acting on them.
• Limited capacity. The book of business grows faster than the team can watch it account by account.
• Context loss in services-to-CS handoffs. The implementation team knows exactly where the customer struggled; the customer-success team inherits none of it.

If your project leads hear about problems from the customer before they see them in the data, this workflow is the fix.

Workflow

1. Connect the sources where dissatisfaction actually lives

Quivly connects to your CRM, billing, support desk, call recorder, email, product usage pipeline, and Slack. In total, Quivly supports 1,000+ integrations, so the systems your post-sales team already runs are covered, and every customer gets one Customer 360 profile combining revenue, usage, calls, support tickets, contacts, opportunities, and projects. The current integration list is in the product documentation and in the FAQ below.

2. Turn calls, emails, and tickets into signals

This is where the "how is the customer actually doing" question gets answered. Quivly pulls transcripts, sentiment, and action items from connected call recorders such as Fireflies, Fathom, and Granola, so the sentiment behind a difficult call becomes data instead of a memory in someone's head. Quivly also reads sentiment from customer emails, so the tone of a thread becomes a signal on the account instead of something only the person reading it notices. Support tickets contribute their own signal set: CSAT, average first response time, and average resolution time.

3. Score the account and flag the risk

Quivly scores every account from 0 to 100, weighted across five categories: Revenue, Product Usage, Engagement, Support, and Market Signals. Buckets are configurable: Healthy, Medium, At Risk, Critical. When a services account slides into At Risk or Critical, that is the flag.

The same profile carries the project picture. Onboarding, implementation, migration, and success plans live in Quivly with tasks, owners, milestones, and status updates tagged On Track, At Risk, or Off Track, so a stalled rollout is visible in the same place as the score.

4. Draft the recovery message for the project lead

When an account is flagged, Quivly recommends next steps and drafts the action: an email, a Slack message, a support ticket, or a calendar event. For recovery, that is usually the email to the customer or the Slack message to the internal team. Nothing is sent until a person reviews and sends it. The project lead opens the draft, adjusts it for the relationship and history only they know, and sends it.

5. Keep the loop running

Recovery does not end at the send button. Quivly tracks renewal dates and days to renewal, signal rules can trigger on approaching renewals, and renewal prep briefs get the next conversation ready. Teams run all of this as agent workflows on a visual canvas, with templates such as an onboarding kickoff agent that turns a won deal into an onboarding plan and a first-touch email, and a renewal prep brief agent.

Outcomes

• The flag and the draft arrive together. The project lead opens the account, sees the score and its bucket, and finds the recovery message already written. The review takes judgment, not assembly.
• Capacity scales with the book. Quivly surfaces the signals and drafts the next action so customer-success and services teams can manage more accounts with less manual work.
• Control stays with your team. A person is always the sender.
• The same loop covers growth. Quivly surfaces expansion signals alongside churn risk, so the workflow that saves accounts also finds the ones ready to grow.
• Recovery stays visible to the customer. Through the Customer Portal, you can share selected project work with the customer, who can read the visible work, comment on open tasks, and submit task forms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Quivly read sentiment from the customer's emails?

Yes. Quivly reads sentiment from customer emails, so a thread that turns from collaborative to frustrated shows up as a signal on the account. Email sentiment sits alongside call sentiment from connected recorders such as Fireflies and support signals such as CSAT, first response time, and resolution time. Email also enters the workflow at the drafting step, where Quivly writes the recovery email for a person to review and send.

Does Quivly send the recovery message automatically?

No. Quivly drafts the email, Slack message, support ticket, or calendar event, and nothing is sent until a person reviews and sends it. A team can build an agent without a review step, but the default workflow keeps a human on send, which is the right default for a recovery conversation.

Which systems does Quivly connect to?

Quivly supports 1,000+ integrations. The connections this workflow relies on are available today: Salesforce, HubSpot, and Attio for CRM; Stripe for billing; Pylon for support; Fireflies, Fathom, and Granola for call recordings; Slack for communication; Snowflake, BigQuery, PostHog, and a Usage Push API for product usage; and Gmail, Google Calendar, and Calendly as agent tools, with Gmail also carrying the customer emails Quivly reads for sentiment. The current list lives in the product documentation.

Our services team hands accounts to customer success. Does the context survive?

That is one of the problems Quivly exists to solve. Notebooks create per-customer AI documents, including QBR, EBR, and sales handoff briefs, that a person reviews and edits, so what the services team learned travels with the account instead of evaporating at handoff.

Conclusion

An unhappy services customer does not announce the problem. The evidence accumulates in a curt email, a call's sentiment, a slipping CSAT score, a stalled milestone, a fading usage chart. Quivly's agents read those signals as they land, score the account, and put a drafted recovery email or Slack message in front of the project lead. The human adds the relationship and the judgment; the agent removes the search and the blank page.

That is the whole workflow: connect the systems you already run, score every account, draft the next action, keep a person on send. Every week without it is another account sliding into risk that nobody sees until the renewal call. Put the workflow on your own accounts at quivly.ai.
