Smarter Chat Support for Covalent Teams
Turn Chat Support into a background job. DeskFerry agents use Covalent to execute on your behalf, 24/7.
84 chats handled overnight. Sample resolution:
Customer
“Hey — my Slack agent stopped firing after I rotated the workspace token yesterday. Anything I need to do on my end?”
Agent draft · in your tone
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).
How does Covalent work for Chat Support automation?
Covalent works for Chat Support automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to Covalent alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for Chat Support, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Answer live @Intercom chats using @Covalent in our brand voice
AI handles common questions immediately, reducing wait times to zero for routine inquiries.
- 03
Escalate the rest with full context to @Zendesk
Teams typically see instant around the clock once the agent is in production.
- 04
You approve
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
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.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does Covalent data stay secure during Chat Support automation?
All data exchanged between Covalent and DeskFerry during Chat Support processing is encrypted in transit and at rest. We use OAuth tokens for Covalent access, never store raw credentials, and maintain full audit logs of every Chat Support action.
How does Chat Support automation scale with increased Covalent volume?
The Chat Support agent scales automatically as your Covalent activity grows. Whether you process 10 or 10,000 Chat Support tasks per day from Covalent, the AI handles the volume without slowdowns or additional configuration.
Can I run multiple Chat Support workflows with different Covalent triggers?
Yes. You can create parallel Chat Support workflows that respond to different Covalent events or conditions. For example, one Chat Support flow for new Covalent records and another for updated ones — each with independent rules and actions.
What happens when the Chat Support agent encounters an issue in Covalent?
When the AI hits an edge case during Chat Support processing in Covalent, it escalates to your team with full context — the Covalent record, what was attempted, and why it needs review. Your Chat Support pipeline never stalls or loses data.
Can I test Chat Support automation with Covalent before going live?
Yes. You can run Chat Support workflows in test mode using sample Covalent data before activating on live records. This lets you verify every Chat Support rule works correctly with your Covalent setup before processing real data.
