CUSTOMER SUPPORT · Workflow idea

Give customers clear answers grounded in approved help content.

Handle routine questions with guidance your team has reviewed. When that guidance does not support an answer, or a request needs personal attention, pass it to a human.

The handoff

Customers receive a concise, relevant answer when approved guidance supports it. Unclear, unsupported, sensitive, or human-requested cases go to your support team.

Keep in mind

An answer is shared as supported only when approved material backs it up. Missing or unclear guidance is a reason to escalate, not guess.
