Field Incident Safety Communication Hub

Centralized field incident reporting system that classifies incidents, routes them to the right Discord channels, logs everything to Google Sheets, and optionally emails reporters a confirmation — keeping operations teams informed in real time.

Field Incident Safety Communication Hub workflow

Context

Operations teams needed a reliable way to capture field incidents, classify them by type, notify the correct internal channel immediately, and keep a single log of all reports without manual triage.

Approach

Built two connected n8n workflows: the intake flow parses each incident, responds instantly to the reporter, routes the report to Discord channels by incident category, merges the branches into a single Google Sheets log, and sends an optional Gmail confirmation; a separate error monitor notifies #system-admin on failures.

Architecture

  1. Webhook POST (field incident)
  2. Parse + classify
  3. Webhook response
  4. Incident type routing
  5. #shop-foreman / #hr-emergency / #customer-success / fallback Discord channels
  6. Merge all branches
  7. Google Sheets log
  8. Email provided?
  9. Gmail confirmation
  10. Error Trigger
  11. Discord #system-admin alert
