Customer Support Agent

The Customer Support Agent is your first line of defense for customer inquiries. It handles questions about your products and services, troubleshoots common issues, creates tickets, generates payment links, schedules callbacks, and escalates to a specialist or human when it cannot resolve the issue on its own.

Key Features

• Knowledge Base Lookup -- Searches your uploaded documents, FAQs, and product information using semantic search to find accurate answers. See Knowledge Base for how to train your agent.
• Ticket Creation -- When a customer reports an issue that requires follow-up, the agent captures all relevant details (name, contact, issue description, priority) and logs a support ticket.
• Payment Link Generation -- For billing-related calls, the agent can generate and share Razorpay payment links so customers can settle invoices during or after the call.
• Callback Scheduling -- If the issue requires a specialist who is not currently available, the agent schedules a callback at a time convenient for the customer. See Callback Agent.
• Three-Level Escalation -- L1 (this agent) handles general issues. Complex technical problems escalate to L2 (Technical Support). Unresolvable issues escalate to L3 (human agent via escalation phone).
• Sentiment Detection -- The agent monitors caller sentiment throughout the conversation and adjusts its tone accordingly. Frustrated callers are handled with extra care and offered escalation sooner.

Escalation Flow

The Customer Support Agent follows a structured escalation path:

Caller → Customer Support (L1)
           |
           |-- Resolved → End call with summary
           |-- Technical issue → Transfer to Technical Support (L2)
           |        |-- Resolved → End call
           |        |-- Needs engineering → L3 human escalation
           |-- Cannot resolve → L3 human escalation
           |-- Caller requests human → L3 human escalation

In a Multi-Agent System, the transfer to L2 happens seamlessly. On phone calls, the agent uses persona mode-switching to become the technical specialist within the same call. On web widget calls, the platform's agent swap feature creates a true handoff with context transfer.

Configuration Best Practices

1. Build a comprehensive Knowledge Base -- The more accurate information your agent has, the higher its first-call resolution rate. Upload product manuals, FAQ documents, pricing sheets, and policy documents.

2. Set clear escalation triggers -- Use Custom Instructions to define when the agent should escalate vs. attempt resolution. For example: "Escalate immediately if the caller mentions legal action, data breach, or requests to speak with a manager."

3. Configure the escalation phone carefully -- This is the number called when L3 human escalation is triggered. Make sure it reaches someone who can actually help, not a general voicemail box.

4. Use the Prompt Builder -- Structure your agent's knowledge into clear sections (returns policy, shipping info, pricing, technical specs) rather than dumping everything into a single document. See Prompt Builder.

Pairing with Other Agents

The Customer Support Agent works well as both a standalone agent and part of a multi-agent setup:

• Standalone -- Handles all customer calls end-to-end with L3 human escalation as a safety net
• With AI Receptionist (Starter Bundle, Rs 7,499/mo) -- Receptionist screens calls and routes support requests to this agent
• With Technical Support (Professional Bundle, Rs 10,999/mo) -- This agent handles general inquiries while technical issues flow to the specialist
• Full Suite (Business Suite, Rs 12,999/mo) -- Receptionist + Customer Support + Technical Support working together

See Bundles for pricing details and Routing Configuration for setup instructions.
