Customer Reply Triage

When to use

Inbound support email or chat needs routing and a fast, on-brand first reply. Triggers: triage this ticket, draft a reply, what's the severity.

What it does

Labels the message with intent (bug, billing, how-to, feature request, churn-risk), urgency (P1–P4), and sentiment. Then drafts a first response that acknowledges, sets expectations, and asks for exactly the missing information needed to resolve.

Steps

  1. Read the full message and any quoted history.
  2. Assign intent + urgency + sentiment.
  3. Route: map intent to the owning team if a routing table is provided; otherwise name the function (billing, eng, success).
  4. Draft a reply: acknowledge → answer or set expectation → one clear next step.
  5. Keep the draft under 120 words unless the issue demands detail.

Output

Intent: ...
Urgency: P?
Sentiment: ...
Route to: ...
Draft:
...

Guardrails

Never promise a fix date the team has not committed to. For billing or account changes, confirm identity before taking action. Escalate anything mentioning legal, security, or a data breach to P1 regardless of tone.
