Where the chatbot answers visitors live, the auto responder posts an AI reply straight into a ticket conversation but only when a human has not already answered, and only when the answer clears a confidence bar you set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It needs the Support tickets module on and the site connected to the AI service. Without both, it does not appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. A ticket is created, or<\/strong> a client posts a follow-up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. NiroHelp queues a single reply for that ticket, due after your delay.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. When the time comes, it checks whether it should still run – see below.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. It sends the AI service the ticket title, the client’s name and email, the order reference, the products, the urgency and the whole conversation. The client’s most recent message is the question; on a brand-new ticket, the description is.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The service answers and rates how relevant its answer is.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. If the rating clears your threshold, the answer is posted as a reply under the author name you chose.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
