Services/Support inbox automation

Every routine ticket gets a draft. Nothing goes out until a person approves it.

Sort incoming tickets, assemble the relevant context and prepare replies for review. Route sensitive requests directly to the right person.

How it helps your team.

Draft from approved help content

Prepare a response the reviewer can check against its sources.

03

Bring exceptions to the right person

Keep billing, refunds and other agreed sensitive cases on a direct human path.

More issues resolved per hour by support agents helped by AI

The published study found an average productivity increase when support agents at one software company used an AI assistant for conversational guidance.

Human agents could edit or ignore suggestions. Gains varied by experience; this does not measure autonomous ticket handling.

From a new ticket to a reviewed reply.

  1. 01

    A message arrives

    A customer writes to the support address or opens a ticket.

  2. 02

    Sorted, drafted and checked

    The workflow identifies the subject and drafts a reply from the approved material. Code checks the draft: if it comes back empty, malformed or against the rules, the message goes to a person.

  3. 03

    A person approves, in the same conversation

    The reviewer edits and presses send, and the reply goes out from the same address inside the original thread.

Built for Blueprint, a college-admissions product

Before Betterlane, Thiago built Blueprint's support inbox: each ticket is sorted and gets a drafted reply written from a versioned guidelines document, and nothing is sent until a person reviews it. Billing, refunds, legal and personal-data questions skip the automation and go straight to a person. Not a Betterlane client project.

What your team receives.

Access, costs and acceptance criteria are agreed before implementation.

Included in delivery

  • Ticket categories and routing rules
  • Draft preparation from approved support material
  • Human review and explicit sensitive-case escalation
  • Test scenarios, error logs and team handover
How we check the delivery

Use representative tickets to verify classification, source-based drafts, routing and rejection. Confirm that no draft is sent without the agreed approval and sensitive cases take their defined human route.

How do you automate a support inbox without sending a wrong reply?

Let the automation sort each message and draft a reply, and keep a person as the one who presses send. Messages about money, refunds, legal or health matters, and anything the model is unsure about, skip the draft and go straight to a person. If the model returns something malformed or empty, treat it as a failure and route the message to a person; never send it.
