About This Automation

Returns and warranty claims require manual data entry, order lookups, and eligibility checks that consume significant coordinator time. Manager approval delays often stretch claim resolution to hours or days.

Automation captures claim details from email and web forms, enriches them with original order data, and evaluates warranty eligibility in minutes. Managers receive pre-screened claims with clear recommendations, accelerating approval and customer notification.

Extract customer, order, and product details without manual data entry
Look up original order and warranty expiry from your accounting system
Evaluate warranty eligibility against policy rules and flag edge cases
Route pre-screened claims to managers with clear recommendations

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Claim Receivedtrigger

A new return or warranty claim arrives via email, web form, or phone message. The automation detects the incoming claim and extracts the customer contact and issue summary.

2. Extract & Enrich Claim Data

The automation parses the claim message, extracts customer name, order number, product SKU, and issue description, then queries to fetch the original order and warranty expiry date.

3. Check Warranty Eligibility

The automation compares the claim date against the warranty expiry and issue type against the warranty policy rules, then assigns an eligibility status (eligible, expired, or out of scope).

4. Is claim eligible?

If eligible, route to approval. If not eligible, send a rejection notice to the customer and log the claim as closed.

5. Create Claim Record

The automation creates a new claim ticket with all extracted details, eligibility status, and a link to the original order.

6. Notify Manager for Approval

A notification is sent to the fulfilment manager with the claim summary, eligibility status, and a link ticket for quick review and approval.

7. Send Claim Confirmation to Customer

An automated email is sent to the customer confirming receipt of their claim, the expected review timeline, and a claim reference number for tracking.
