01
Starting point
A workspace administrator reports that a member account is sending spam invitations and may be compromised. The decision depends on login anomalies, workspace role, invitation velocity, prior security actions, and whether an immediate containment step is reversible.
02
What must hold
- Mixing abuse and security workflows without making ownership clear.
- Repeating a customer action after a retry and locking the same account twice.
- Closing the report before the application confirms that the action actually happened.
03
Step by step
- Publish the visual workflow with an authority mode, a passing fixture, an immutable version, and explicit failure paths. Pin that version to the active queue policy before new reports enter it.
- Accept the report through a customer support integration or server API and preserve its external reference.
- Route suspected compromise to a dedicated hybrid queue whose policy distinguishes reversible containment from permanent enforcement.
- Request login-risk, role, invitation-rate, and prior-action enrichments from customer-defined webhooks.
- Allow AI to assemble a chronology and recommend the next step; require a human for privileged accounts, permanent restrictions, conflicting evidence, or any failed enrichment.
- Dispatch the chosen product action with an idempotency key, wait for a recorded success or failure, then send the correct workspace and affected-user notifications.
04
Operating boundary
AI may recommend and, if the customer explicitly allows it, trigger a reversible session reset for ordinary members with strong compromise signals. Privileged roles, permanent account restrictions, ambiguous identity, action failures, and appeals are human-only.
05
Data exchange
A customer-configured account_security webhook returns a narrowly scoped risk summary keyed by the referenced account. Safest Resolve records the request, response schema version, timestamp, and provenance. Secrets stay in the customer’s Cloudflare account and are never exposed to the analyst interface.
06
Verification
Support and security share one factual timeline: who reported the issue, what context was fetched, who claimed the case, what policy applied, which action was requested, whether it succeeded, who was notified, and whether the user appealed.
07
Implementation questions
How are duplicate application actions prevented?+
Every action dispatch carries a stable idempotency key and has an explicit pending, succeeded, or failed state. A retry reuses the key and never turns an unknown result into an assumed success.
Can a customer keep its existing support form?+
Yes. The server API can accept structured reports from an existing support or security workflow while preserving the customer’s external case reference.
