Clari Forecast Change Monitoring System

v20260423
clari-webhooks-events
This skill provides a robust solution for monitoring critical forecast changes within Clari. Since Clari lacks native real-time webhooks for all data, this system implements change detection by polling periodic data exports and comparing current snapshots against historical records. It calculates the percentage change and can trigger immediate alerts via platforms like Slack, ensuring users are always aware of significant shifts in revenue forecasts or sales pipelines.

Overview

Clari Webhooks & Events

Overview

Clari does not provide real-time webhooks. Instead, build change detection by comparing periodic exports. This skill covers scheduled export diffing, Slack alerts for forecast movements, and Copilot webhook integration.

Instructions

Step 1: Forecast Change Detection Pipeline

# forecast_monitor.py
import json
from pathlib import Path
from datetime import datetime

def detect_changes(
    current: list[dict],
    previous: list[dict],
    threshold_pct: float = 10.0,
) -> list[dict]:
    prev_map = {e["ownerEmail"]: e for e in previous}
    changes = []

    for entry in current:
        prev = prev_map.get(entry["ownerEmail"])
        if not prev:
            continue

        prev_fc = prev["forecastAmount"]
        curr_fc = entry["forecastAmount"]
        if prev_fc == 0:
            continue

        change_pct = ((curr_fc - prev_fc) / prev_fc) * 100
        if abs(change_pct) >= threshold_pct:
            changes.append({
                "rep": entry["ownerName"],
                "previous": prev_fc,
                "current": curr_fc,
                "change_pct": round(change_pct, 1),
                "direction": "increased" if change_pct > 0 else "decreased",
                "detected_at": datetime.utcnow().isoformat(),
            })

    return sorted(changes, key=lambda x: abs(x["change_pct"]), reverse=True)

def save_snapshot(entries: list[dict], path: str = "data/latest.json"):
    Path(path).parent.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
    with open(path, "w") as f:
        json.dump(entries, f)

def load_snapshot(path: str = "data/latest.json") -> list[dict]:
    try:
        with open(path) as f:
            return json.load(f)
    except FileNotFoundError:
        return []

Step 2: Slack Alert for Forecast Changes

import requests

def send_forecast_alert(changes: list[dict], slack_webhook: str):
    if not changes:
        return

    blocks = [f"*Clari Forecast Changes Detected*\n"]
    for c in changes[:10]:
        emoji = ":chart_with_upwards_trend:" if c["direction"] == "increased" else ":chart_with_downwards_trend:"
        blocks.append(
            f"{emoji} *{c['rep']}*: ${c['previous']:,.0f} -> ${c['current']:,.0f} "
            f"({c['change_pct']:+.1f}%)"
        )

    requests.post(slack_webhook, json={"text": "\n".join(blocks)})

Step 3: Scheduled Monitor (Cron)

#!/bin/bash
# Run every 4 hours: 0 */4 * * * /path/to/clari-monitor.sh
cd /opt/clari-integration
python3 -c "
from clari_client import ClariClient
from forecast_monitor import detect_changes, save_snapshot, load_snapshot, send_forecast_alert
import os

client = ClariClient()
data = client.export_and_download('company_forecast', '2026_Q1')
current = data.get('entries', [])
previous = load_snapshot()

changes = detect_changes(current, previous)
if changes:
    send_forecast_alert(changes, os.environ['SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL'])
    print(f'Detected {len(changes)} changes')

save_snapshot(current)
"

Step 4: Copilot Webhook (Conversation Intelligence)

The Clari Copilot API supports real-time webhooks for call events:

# Register webhook with Copilot API
curl -X POST https://api.copilot.clari.com/v1/webhooks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${COPILOT_ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://your-app.com/webhooks/clari-copilot",
    "events": ["call.completed", "call.analyzed"]
  }'

Error Handling

Issue Cause Solution
False change alerts Data timing differences Increase threshold to 15%
Snapshot file missing First run Initialize with empty list
Slack post fails Bad webhook URL Test URL with curl
