Channel Details

Email Channel

The Email channel in AnswerPal is designed for maximum efficiency and security. Incoming emails are first scanned for spam using advanced AI and SpamAssassin filters. Only valid emails proceed to topic detection, where a fine-tuned AI model analyzes the subject and body to classify the message. Based on the detected topic, AnswerPal can draft personalized replies, perform API calls (such as fetching order status), forward messages, or escalate to a human agent if needed. Every action is logged, and end-user identification is automatic via email address. Escalation is seamless: users can indicate dissatisfaction, and the ticket is handed over to a CSR with all context preserved.

How to create a new email channel

Chat Channel

The Chat channel provides instant, AI-powered support to website visitors. When a user opens the chat, AnswerPal identifies them (fully if logged in), analyzes the web page context, and detects the topic using the URL and page content. The AI retrieves relevant documents or data, provides immediate answers, and can escalate to a human if the user requests or if the question is complex. For anonymous users, only general information is provided. Escalation and handover are seamless, with all context preserved for the human agent.

Klantherkenning: Identificeert ingelogde gebruikers via accountinfo.

Contextual Responses

Contextuele antwoorden: Gebruikt pagina URL en inhoud voor onderwerpsherkenning.

Screenshot Context

Phone Channel

The Phone channel automates inbound call handling with advanced AI. When a call is received, AnswerPal recognizes the caller by phone number, retrieves their ticket and history, and uses real-time speech analysis to detect the topic. The AI can answer questions, retrieve data from your CRM or ERP, and provide immediate responses in the caller’s language. If the call is complex or the caller requests, AnswerPal escalates the call to a human agent, transferring full context and conversation logs. Multilingual support and real-time translation are available for global reach.

Channel-Specific Action Interpretations

Actions in AnswerPal are tailored to each channel for a natural, professional experience. For example, email replies use a formal structure with signatures, chat and WhatsApp messages are brief and conversational, and phone interactions are warm and engaging. Automated responses are always adapted to fit the etiquette and expectations of each channel, ensuring your customers feel heard and understood everywhere.

Linking Documents & Data to Channels

You control which documents or data are provided for each channel, topic, and event. For example, certain instructions may only be sent via email, while chat provides instant FAQs, and phone support can reference real-time data. AnswerPal can fetch documents from its own library or from your CRM, ERP, or DMS, ensuring that every response is accurate, up-to-date, and relevant to the channel and topic at hand.

Example Scenarios

Een klant mailt, “Waar is mijn bestelling #12345?” AnswerPal scant op spam, detecteert het onderwerp en ordernummer, haalt de orderstatus op uit je ERP, stelt een gepersonaliseerd antwoord op, en een CSR bekijkt en verstuurt het antwoord.

Een websitebezoeker vraagt, “Wat zijn jullie openingstijden?” AnswerPal detecteert het onderwerp met behulp van de chat URL en het bericht, haalt het antwoord op uit je kennisbank, en stuurt direct het antwoord in het chatvenster.

Een klant belt, “Mijn internetverbinding is uitgevallen.” AnswerPal luistert, detecteert het technische ondersteuningsonderwerp, haalt de klantaccount op, controleert op bekende problemen en biedt probleemoplossing. Als het niet wordt opgelost, wordt het gesprek doorgeschakeld naar een menselijke medewerker met volledige context.
