“Hey — my Slack agent stopped firing after I rotated the workspace token yesterday. Anything I need to do on my end?”

Hi Lara — totally normal, the new token needs a quick re-auth. I've sent a one-click reconnect link to your DeskFerry inbox; once you tap it the agent will pick up where it left off (no re-training needed).

Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
A DeskFerry agent watches for the triggers specific to Beauty & Salon Chat Support, pulls the context it needs from your CRM, inbox, calendar and operational systems, and completes each step with the same rules an experienced operator would apply. AI handles common questions immediately, reducing wait times to zero for routine inquiries. Teams typically see instant around the clock once the agent is in production. The agent runs on a configurable confidence threshold, escalates edge cases to a human, and writes every action to an audit log you can review at any time.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

Human in the loop
Approve before it sends.
Every draft lands in a review queue. You approve, edit, or reject — the agent never acts on its own unless you explicitly turn that on for a workflow you trust.
Governance
Every action, with the reasoning attached.
Each step the agent takes is logged with what it did, why it did it, and which app it touched. Audit-ready, so security and compliance can sign off without backfilling.
