• Use Interakt’s Automation features to automate responses to usual customer queries:
• To do this, set up Custom Auto Replies to Frequently Asked Questions like ‘I want to return my order’:
• To do this, go to https://app.interakt.ai/automation/custom-reply and click on ‘Add new Custom Reply’
• First, add the exact phrase from the customer, which should trigger the ‘custom auto reply’. You can also add variations to that phrase. You can add phrases like:
• How do I return products?
• How do I exchange products?
• Where is my order?
• Show me top products!
• Next, add the reply that will go out to the customer. In this reply include the link to your Return Prime returns page!
(You can also choose to send your Product Collections List in the autoreply. It is a great way to enable customers to discover your products when they reach out to you on WhatsApp).
• Next, include the above ‘phrase’ in your Interaktive List that you want to send alongside your Welcome / OOO Message. Click on ‘Include new Reply’.
• Next, simply choose the phrase from the list of inputs. You can choose to display the phrase differently in the final List.
• Once the phrase has been added to your Interaktive List, simply go to https://app.interakt.ai/automation/inbox-setting and include the Interaktive List in your Out of Office and Welcome Messages.
• Next time whenever a customer messages you on WhatsApp (after a gap of 24 hours from his last connect, or, while your team is OOO), a List Message will go out with the option ‘How to return order?’ present in the list. As soon as the customer clicks on that, the auto-reply with your Return Prime page link will also get sent!
