Question
How can AI work with e-commerce websites like Shopify, Freshdesk, PrestaShop and other e-commerce apps, to handle customer service? I want an AI agent to answer all customer questions, manage the conversation, and provide order status details and updates.
Answer
AI agents can respond to general inquiries from the content of articles in your help center. The default feature looks for relevant information in your documentation to direct users to any matching article.
To return order numbers and status updates for platforms like Shopify, your team needs to:
- Develop a custom script that makes an API request using the Make API call step
- Keep in mind that the API implementation steps differ if you purchased the AI agents - Advanced add-on, as it provides additional features that can simplify or modify the process
