The Support Bot Module turns your [[Personal_Bots|Personal Bot]] (can be either standard or model) into a 24/7 support machine. Your customers send inquiries directly to the bot (using IM). The Bot then accepts these messages and notifies your human support about a new message.

== Overview ==
|
+ |
|
| - |
|
+ |
|
| - |
The bot stands in your office and customers are able to IM the bot:
|
+ |
|
| - |
|
+ |
|
| - |
* bot accepts customers' messages and stores them in the database
|
+ |
|
| - |
* a notification is sent to your human support staff
|
+ |
|
| - |
* human support (or you) pick up the message(s) and reply
|
+ |
|
| - |
|
+ |
|
| - |
You won't loose a single message: bot is online 24/7. All IMs are being stored in a database, and you can access them using a web browser.

== Support Bot activity step by step ==
|
+ |
|
| - |
|
+ |
|

The following steps describe the work of the Support Bot. You can try it live at [http://slurl.com/secondlife/DuoLife/197/99/32/ SmartBots office] (we use this bot ourselves).
|
+ |
|
| - |
|
+ |
|
| - |
=== Step 1. Accept customer's message ===
|
+ |
|
| - |
|
+ |
|
| - |
You should position your Support Bot in office and show that bot accepts support inquiries (a poster is available).
|
+ |
|
| - |
|
+ |
|
| - |
# Customer starts by sending IM to the bot.
|
+ |
|
| - |
# Bot sees that someone is typing a message and replies immediately: ''"Dear Chevonn Edelmann, welcome to SmartBots! I'm support bot. Please send your inquiry to me, I shall forward it to our online managers."''
|
+ |
|
| - |
# Customer sends the first line of the message (for example, "Hi")
|
+ |
|
| - |
# Bot replies: ''"...please keep typing your message. Say "done" when you finish typing your question/inquiry."''
|
+ |
|
| - |
# Bot records the message until customer say "done" [[Image:SupportBot1.png|link=|center|border|550px]]

|

|
+ |
|
| - |
=== Step 2. Delivering message to all your human support ===
|
+ |
|
| - |
|
+ |
|
| - |
You have someone who takes care of customer inquiries (you or your support managers). Bot sends the notification to all your managers, asking them to contact that customer.
|
+ |
|
| - |
|
+ |
|
| - |
This message sent to your support staff:
|
+ |
|
| - |
|
+ |
|
| - |
[[Image:SupportBot2.png|link=|center|border|550px]]
|
+ |
|
| - |
|
+ |
|
| - |
=== Step 3. Picking up the message ===
|
+ |
|
| - |
|
+ |
|
| - |
When one of your support staff comes online, he replies to the bot with a special text ("CONFIRM-CONVO #" where # is the number for the current message) and bot assigns that contact to the manager.

|
+ |
|
| - |
=== Step 4. Checking the history of support messages ===
|
+ |
|
| - |
|
+ |
|
| - |
All support messages are being stored, you can view them at any time using your browser:
