🔧 Workflow

Every day, the company's chat, email, and ticketing channels are integrated into the platform via the Decagon SDK, and the system automatically captures newly created tickets and parses SOP workflows. The AI Agent generates replies based on preset business rules. If the customer satisfaction score is greater than or equal to 4.5, it is considered successfully resolved and billed. The system then pushes detailed conversation logs and KPI reports to enterprise administrators to achieve closed-loop monitoring.

🛠 Setup Requirements

1) Proficiency in Python or Node.js development, with familiarity in RESTful API calls; 2) Create cloud servers on AWS, Azure, or GCP and configure security groups; 3) Register for a Decagon developer account, download the official SDK, and complete API key configuration; 4) Write mapping rules according to enterprise customer service SOPs to complete system integration. The entire process takes about 2 weeks and can go live after internal testing.

🧰 Toolchain

  • 🔧 OpenAI GPT-4 API
  • 🔧 Decagon Official Customer Service Agent SDK
  • 🔧 AWS EC2 (or equivalent cloud host)
  • 🔧 Zapier Automation Workflow
  • 🔧 Postman for API Debugging
