First-level support

The first-level support use case is suitable when incoming support requests should be reliably accepted, pre-sorted, and in some cases answered directly. The agent handles recurring issues, answers standard questions immediately, and forwards more complex cases in a structured way, without hold times.

What exactly does the agent handle?

In first-level support, the agent answers calls and clarifies the issue. It answers common questions, such as those about opening hours, prices, or availability, immediately. For more complex topics, it captures all relevant information and prioritizes the issue for handoff. This way, urgent cases reach the right contact person faster. After each conversation, the content is automatically summarized and provided.

Briefly explained: How to set up the use case

1

Create agent & refine profile

Create an agent and define in the company profile (configuration section) which topics your support covers (e.g. "We help with IT problems and billing questions"). Tip: Use the greeting to let callers know that they are speaking with a digital assistant (e.g. "I will take your ticket or answer quick questions").

2

Create playbooks for tickets & escalation

Under Playbooks, create guides for problems that a human needs to solve.

  • Playbook "Incident report":

    • Condition: "Caller reports a technical problem"

    • Task: "Record the error description"

    • Task: "Ask for customer number & urgency"

    • Closing action: Transfer (to 2nd-level support in emergencies) or announce a callback (standard ticket).

3

Store knowledge

So the agent can resolve standard questions ("How do I reset my password?") immediately, without bothering the team:

  • Knowledge base: Upload manuals, FAQs, or instructions as PDFs.

  • Customer questions: Store short answers for quick fixes (e.g. "Where can I find my customer number?").

4

Ticket creation & notification

Make sure the call becomes a ticket.

  • Email summary: Enter under Configuration > Recipients the address of your ticketing system (many systems automatically convert emails into tickets).

  • Webhooks (recommended): Use webhooks to push the incident report in a structured way directly into tools like Jira, Zendesk, or Freshdesk.

5

Assign phone number

During the test phase, you will receive free phone numbers from us for testing. However, so that your agent remains reachable after the trial period, you still need to assign it a phone number.

Benefits at a glance

The agent ensures that calls are answered at all times and no request is lost. Support teams are relieved because routine inquiries are handled automatically and only relevant cases are forwarded. At the same time, conversations remain traceable, since all requests are documented and can be analyzed. Statistics and call logs make it possible to see which topics occur particularly often.
