8. Automate repetitive tasks with Task Bots
More than half of support tasks are repetitive in an ecommerce business. You can automate these using conversation bots freeing up agents for more complex queries.

Availability Bot The Availability Bot does expectation setting for your customers. As soon as a customer sends a message, the bot in a conversational manner sends the expected time for replies based on the usual the usual time taken by your support team to join the conversation. During non-working hours, if a client starts a conversation, Bot informs the client, time by which they can expect a reply back from the team based on the client’s timezone.
Routing Bot Routing Bot helps to better manage your support team and resources. When a customer starts a conversation this bot automatically inquires if they are an existing customer or a new lead. If a customer is an existing one, then the bot automatically routes the conversation to the designated team or support agent to manage existing customer queries. This smoothens operations and helps your customers get the best customer service.
Inquiry Bot Instead of traditional inquiry forms that are placed before starting a conversation, You can use Richpanel’s Inquiry Bot. These bots collect contact info of customers in a conversational way which makes it more exciting unlike an inquiry form.
Lead Qualifying Bot If before starting a conversation if you want to qualify a lead by collecting more than their contact details then you can do so by using this Bot. You can ask any details like their first name, city, country etc. before assigning them an appropriate agent. If it’s an existing customer the Bot will never ask these questions since these details will already exist.
