This AI voice agent helps customers change an order after they place it. Customers can request faster delivery, a higher quantity, or a different shipping location, in any combination, for one order line. The agent creates one case for the requested changes and can connect the customer to a live agent.

Workflow

The agent captures every change the customer asks for on one order line, validates new shipping locations, creates one case, and hands off to a live agent when it can't complete the request.

  1. Listen to the customer's request and identify each change they want: faster delivery, a higher quantity, a different shipping location, or any combination of these.
  2. Retrieve the order by product name, order number, or a list of the customer's recent orders, and confirm the order with the customer.
  3. Retrieve the order line items and confirm the line to change. The agent handles one line per case.
  4. Ask only for missing values, such as the new quantity, the required delivery date, or the new shipping location.
  5. Validate a new shipping location and confirm the matching address with the customer.
  6. Ask whether the customer wants to change anything else on the same line before submitting.
  7. Read back all requested changes for a final confirmation, and create one order case for them.
  8. Share the case number and a summary of the original and requested values.
  9. End the conversation. If the customer asks for more changes after the case is created, or the agent can't complete the request after three attempts or a tool failure, transfer the customer to a live agent with the case and conversation summary.
