Automate customer support with agents that have read/write API access to order tracking, address correction, and return authorization — while risky or emotional tickets escalate straight to a human.
Use Cases
Resolve e-commerce support tickets autonomously with direct API integrations.
Resolves the highest-volume support query — "where is my order" — autonomously by querying Shopify order and carrier tracking data directly, providing accurate delivery estimates without a human touching the ticket.
Applies your returns policy automatically — checking eligibility by item, category, and purchase date — generating labels and processing refunds to the original payment method without manual review for standard cases.
Updates shipping addresses or delivery instructions when a shipment hasn't yet been processed by the carrier, logging every modification for audit purposes rather than requiring a manual support handoff.
Reads support tickets across email, SMS, WhatsApp, and live chat, drafts replies grounded in real order data, and updates ticket labels and status across Gorgias or Zendesk automatically.
Detects frustrated sentiment, chargeback threats, or legal language in incoming tickets and routes them instantly to a human manager in Slack, rather than letting a bot attempt to de-escalate a high-risk case.
How It Works
Incoming messages across every channel are normalized and routed to the agent for initial triage.
The agent pulls live order, shipping, and account data from Shopify before drafting any response.
Standard cases resolve autonomously within policy; high-risk or ambiguous cases route to Slack for human review.
Every resolution and escalation is logged, giving your team visibility into automation performance over time.
Safety & Access Controls
Model permissions are limited so agents only run validated commands — for example, initiating a return without ever writing a payment refund directly.
Tickets involving custom refunds above threshold, chargeback threats, or angry sentiment are routed instantly to human managers in Slack.
Brand voice guidelines are enforced across every channel, so automated replies read consistently whether they arrive by email or WhatsApp.
Every autonomous action — refund, address change, label generation — is logged with the reasoning behind the decision.
