Customer
“We were charged twice for our March seat-add ($840 overage). Need this resolved before Friday's board meeting.”

Hi Theo — apologies for the double-charge. Refund of $840 has been queued (3–5 business days), and I've flagged the seat-add webhook bug for engineering. I'll personally confirm the refund as soon as Stripe clears it.
How do AI agents help Customer Success teams with Ticket Routing?
AI agents help Customer Success teams with Ticket Routing by absorbing the repetitive operational work that crowds out the judgment-heavy parts of the role.

- 03
Classify by topic and urgency

Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
A DeskFerry agent connects to the systems your Customer Success stack already runs on, watches for Ticket Routing triggers, and executes the next step automatically — drafting, routing, updating records, and following up without manual handoffs. AI categorizes and prioritizes support tickets the moment they arrive — no manual triage needed. Teams typically see instant to the right queue and agent once the agent is in production. Setup is no-code, the agent operates inside the rules you define for your Customer Success team, and every decision is logged so leadership can review what was automated and what was escalated.
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.

Customer asking what's included on the Growth plan vs. Pro.
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.
