Let AI agents answer email and portal cases
Published agents reply to new cases from email and the customer portal, and keep helping until a person takes over.
For: AdminsSteps
- Publish the agent, open its Channels tab, switch on Email and/or Customer portal and select Save channels.
- When a customer emails your support mailbox or submits a case on the portal, the agent reads it and replies on the case. Email replies go out on the case's email thread; portal replies appear on the portal, labelled as the AI assistant.
- When the customer replies, the agent answers again. As soon as someone from your team replies publicly, the agent stops for that case.
- If you switch on several agents for the same channel, the router agent reads each new case and picks the agent whose topics fit best.
- When the agent needs a person, it adds internal notes with its summary, any unsent draft reply and the actions it prepared. The case stays in your queues as usual.
Good to know
- Agents answer in the background, so email intake and the portal are never slowed down.
- Turn on Stop this agent to stop it at once; new cases then wait for your team only.
