Replying to customers by email for an email bot
To ensure better responsiveness and quality of service in your organization, during the email triaging stage for Pega Email Bot™, a customer service representative (CSR) can use email to quickly respond to customers to help with requests or reported issues.
For example, a CSR that receives an email asking about a car insurance quote can quickly reply to the customer, thanking them for their email and requesting any additional information necessary to generate their car insurance case.
The system displays the detected sentiment of each customer email in the thread
(positive, negative, or neutral) to the right of the sender email address. As a result,
the system shows the sentiment pattern for the entire customer email thread for a triage
case. The shown sentiment helps CSRs to respond quicker and take immediate action for
the triage case. For example, when CSRs notice that an email with a negative sentiment
was detected, they can immediately send a reply to the user asking for more information
so that the CSR can process the request. Note: The system generates training data when a
CSR selects a reply from the suggested reply or other replies list.What to do next: After a customer service representative takes actions to address the issue reported
in the triage case, for example, by spinning off a related business case, forwarding the
email to other users, and replying to the customer, they can mark the triage case as
completed. For more information, see Resolving triage cases.
