For marketers who ask their AI assistant which members of a Mailchimp segment are unhappy according to Freshdesk.

The problem
Campaigns reach customers in the middle of a complaint
A Mailchimp segment can include customers with escalated tickets or a bad satisfaction rating, because nobody checks Freshdesk first. Searching the help desk for each member takes too long, so it rarely happens.
Without PopdockAI
- Export the segment members from Mailchimp
- Search Freshdesk for each email
- Check tickets and ratings one by one
- Send anyway because the check takes too long
With PopdockAI
- Subscribed members of the segment are read
- Each is checked for escalated or urgent open tickets and poor ratings
- Flagged members come with the reason
- It recommends who to hold back and changes nothing

**Objective:** Before sending to segment {segment-id} of list {list-id}, find members who are currently unhappy in Freshdesk so they can be held back. Check at most {max-people} members (default 50).
**Step 1: Segment members (mailchimp server)**
Call `mailchimp-get-segment-member` with `list-id` = {list-id}, `segment-id` = {segment-id}, `status` = subscribed and `max-records` = {max-people}. Collect each email.
**Step 2: Support state (freshdesk server)**
For each email, call `freshdesk-get-tickets` with `requester-email` = that email and look for open tickets that are escalated or have urgent or high priority. Then call `freshdesk-get-contacts` with `email` = that email and read csat-rating; flag a negative rating.
**Step 3: Report**
Table of flagged members: email, full-name, reason flagged (escalated ticket, urgent ticket, low csat), ticket subject. Then the count checked and the count flagged. Recommend holding the flagged members out of the send, but do not change anything.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Tools whose names start with freshdesk are on the freshdesk server; tools whose names start with mailchimp are on the mailchimp server. Both servers must be connected.
* Read-only. Do NOT call `mailchimp-update-list-member`, `mailchimp-add-segment-member`, `freshdesk-update-contact` or any other add, update, delete, start, pause or replicate tool.
**Validation:**
* Members absent from Freshdesk are not flagged; count them as "no support record".
* If the segment is empty, say so and stop.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Email marketers
Check a segment before every send
See which members have open escalations or low ratings, with the reason for each, so you can exclude them with confidence.
Check the Renewals segment of our Mailchimp newsletter list against Freshdesk and tell me who to hold back. Check 75.
Customer success managers
Keep sales emails away from open problems
Customers in a live escalation are flagged before a promotion lands on top of their complaint.
Are any members of the Mailchimp Upsell segment dealing with urgent Freshdesk tickets right now?
Support managers
Give marketing a reason to wait
A short flagged list with ticket reasons makes it easy to ask marketing to pause a send for specific customers.
Which people in the Mailchimp Trial users segment have escalated Freshdesk tickets or a negative rating?
