Trigger: A refund, return, or cancellation request arrives.

Setup steps

  1. Map the trigger and required source fields.
  2. Define what the agent may draft, classify, or route.
  3. Connect the system of record and keep the owner visible.
  4. Add a human approval step for customer-facing or high-risk output.
  5. Log decisions and review failures daily during rollout.

Guardrails

  • The agent must cite source context or mark missing information.
  • The agent must not send external messages without the named owner approving them.
  • The agent must escalate sensitive, legal, financial, hiring, or angry-customer cases.

Handoff rules

  • Human owner: Support manager.
  • Create a task when confidence is low or required fields are missing.
  • Keep a rollback path so the team can run the workflow manually.

Failure modes

  • The trigger fires on the wrong record.
  • The agent drafts confident copy from incomplete data.
  • The owner misses the review queue and the workflow stalls.

Privacy notes

  • Send only the fields needed for the workflow.
  • Avoid sensitive data unless the tool has been approved for that use.
  • Keep audit notes for decisions that affect customers, candidates, or payments.
