conditional-chat-reminder

Create one enabled, one-time Scout automation that captures the chat's state now, checks only for later relevant updates, and either suppresses or sends the agreed reminder.

Resolve the request

1. Resolve the exact Teams chat with the available Work IQ tools and retain its immutable chat ID. Never select a chat from its display name alone when more than one match exists.
2. Establish:
   • the person or people whose later messages count as news;
   • the subject, commitment, or expected update;
   • what would materially change the current state;
   • the exact execution date, time, and time zone;
   • the exact reminder text.
3. Infer details that are explicit in the request or chat context. Ask one concise question only when a critical detail remains ambiguous. Resolve relative dates against the current date and repeat the resulting absolute date, time, and time zone.
4. If reminder wording was not provided, draft a short, neutral message. Do not invent a commitment, deadline, status, or recipient.

Freeze the baseline

1. Get the current user's profile and fetch enough recent messages from the resolved chat to understand the named subject.
2. Confirm the chat is readable before creating an automation.
3. Immediately before creating the automation, fetch the newest messages once more and use the newest message as the exclusive baseline marker.
4. Capture these immutable values for the automation prompt:
   • chat ID and human-readable label;
   • monitored people's stable IDs or email addresses and display names;
   • baseline capture time in UTC;
   • newest message ID at the baseline and that message's creation time, or an explicit empty-chat marker;
   • a concise topic description and current-state summary;
   • explicit criteria for a qualifying update;
   • exact reminder text;
   • the current user's identity.
5. The baseline marker and every older message are context only. They must never suppress the future reminder.
