Let the support desk send replies on its own

What it is

Auto-send lets the support agent answer a customer without waiting for approval. You decide it per ticket category, and a reply still has to clear a confidence bar and a fact check before it leaves.

Where to find it

Office › Agents › Customer Support Specialist, Setup tab, section What it answers on its own.

The section What it answers on its own with the Auto-reply switch, the confidence by customer tier and the fact check line

Switch it on

  1. Set the agent's mode to Controlled or higher. In Draft nothing is sent, whatever is set below.
  2. Turn Auto-reply on.
  3. In the table, set each category's Handling:
    • Auto: sends on its own when the reply clears the confidence.
    • Asks first: drafts for approval.
    • Never: hands the conversation to a person.
  4. For an Auto category, type the Confidence it needs, or leave it empty to use the customer tier's.
  5. Check Confidence by customer tier (trial, paid, legacy, enterprise, high ARR). A reply needs the stricter of its category's and its tier's.
  6. Set At most this many replies alone a run.
  7. Click Save changes. If the change lets more go out without a person, Argus lists what and asks you to confirm.

The fact check

Every reply that would go alone is read by a second model against what the agent read. It goes only when every sentence is backed. If the check cannot run, the reply waits for a person. In force now on the right shows whether the fact check is on.

Good to know

  • Some topics never go alone: refunds and other money decisions, carrying out a cancellation, legal, security, sales negotiations and promised dates.
  • VIP customers get a person by default. The VIP section can let how-to questions be answered, with the owner told.
  • There are also send limits per day and per conversation.
  • Only a workspace admin changes the mode. Each change that widens what goes out asks for a confirmation.
  • The Accuracy bar on the same tab is the share of a category's drafts that must have gone out as written.
