What automation should never try to solve alone
Refund fights, delivery failures, rude experiences, and sensitive complaints need empathy and judgment. BOKBOK can greet and gather context, then your team takes over.
- Angry tone or repeated complaints
- Refund and damage claims
- Safety or privacy concerns
- VIP or long-term client issues
A safe handoff workflow
Instruct BOKBOK to apologize briefly, avoid promises, and invite a human. In Activity log, switch the thread to Human mode and reply with the full chat history visible.
Tip: Add chatbot instructions like: “If the customer is upset, apologize and ask them to wait for a team member.”
Prevent anger with better first answers
Many complaints start from slow or wrong replies. Accurate FAQs and faster first response reduce the number of chats that ever become angry.
