Client Query & Complaint Handling

Q: How does the system decide which agent should handle a complaint?

The system matches complaints to agents based on skill tags, current workload, and complaint type. Urgent complaints are prioritized and routed to available agents first, ensuring faster resolution.

Q: Will agents still need to manually investigate complaints and write responses?

Yes. Agents still review complaints, gather account history, and compose personalized responses.

Q: What happens if a complaint requires escalation or special handling?

The system flags high-priority or complex complaints for supervisor review based on keywords and client tier. Supervisors can manually override routing or escalate as needed, and the automation logs all actions for compliance.

Q: How does the system track whether complaints are actually resolved?

The automation schedules follow-up reminders automatically and tracks agent responses. When the agent confirms resolution with the client, the system updates the complaint record with final status and timestamps for compliance reporting.
