n8n TeamRetro Health Drop Alerts (OpenAI GPT-5 Mini + Slack)

Auto-detects TeamRetro health drop-offs and sends actionable alerts to Slack

n8n TeamRetro Health Drop Alerts watches for completed TeamRetro health checks, compares each dimension against a rolling baseline from recent checks, and—when a significant drop is detected—uses OpenAI (GPT-5 Mini) to generate a neutral interpretation plus discussion prompts, then posts everything to Slack. Optionally, it can also queue those prompts as TeamRetro parked items for your next retro.

What this workflow does

• Receives a TeamRetro webhook event when a health check is completed.
• Fetches the completed health check’s dimension scores and pulls the team’s most recent prior health checks from TeamRetro.
• Stops early if there are fewer than two prior completed checks (not enough history to build a reliable baseline).
• Computes a rolling baseline by averaging prior scores per dimension.
• Flags any current dimension that drops by 0.75 points or more below its own baseline.
• When any dimensions are flagged, sends the drop details to OpenAI to produce a short neutral interpretation and one discussion question per flagged dimension.
• Posts the interpretation, the deltas, and the suggested questions to a Slack channel.
• If enabled, creates TeamRetro parked items to queue the prompts for the team’s next retro.

Use cases

• Surface hidden deterioration in team health dimensions immediately after each TeamRetro check.
• Help facilitators prepare richer retro discussions with AI-generated questions.
• Route health signals to Slack so leaders can respond quickly without manually reviewing reports.

Technical details

• Integrations: TeamRetro (webhook + API), Slack, OpenAI (GPT-5 Mini).
• n8n nodes/workflow logic: if, set, code, slack, split out, and sticky note.
• Operational requirements: add a TeamRetro API credential to the TeamRetro trigger and relevant TeamRetro nodes; configure the webhook signing secret; add an OpenAI API credential; and ensure the Slack node is connected.
