What Is Customer Conversation Automation?

A predictable customer moment can receive a clear fixed action. The rest of the conversation can remain open to AI or to your team.

  1. 1Customer action
    A clear trigger starts the flow.

    A comment, first message, reply, or chat entry gives the automation a useful reason to begin.

  2. 2Fixed next step
    Send, ask, collect, or route.

    Automation handles the one predictable action you have already approved for that customer moment.
