Fin now asks smarter clarifying questions in customer conversations

Julia avatar
Shared by Julia • January 12, 2024

When a customer asks a vague, unclear, or ambiguous question—instead of making an educated guess and surfacing the most likely answer or articles—Fin now intelligently seeks clarification and gathers more information and context from the customer.

We’re already seeing a big impact on resolution rates—with some customers seeing up to 17pp improvements.

This is live now for all Fin users!

Shared by Bethany • January 03, 2024

Have a load of complex email queries that come through, that you just want to start off as a ticket? Now you can!

We've added a setting that allows you to automatically convert all inbound emails into a customer ticket type of your choice.

For further personalisation, or to enable all conversations to be auto-converted into tickets, we've also built a new 'convert to ticket' action in Workflows. Just choose your trigger and rules, and select the ticket type you want to convert to.

SLAs now work for both conversations and customer tickets!

We've also made a bunch of SLA improvements that will help you and your team hit response and resolution time targets:

  • New resolution metrics: You can now track ‘time to resolve’ SLA metrics for tickets and ‘time to close’ SLA metrics for conversations and tickets.
  • Pausing SLAs: SLAs can now be paused on two states, ‘snoozed’ and ‘waiting on customer’, for more accurate timers and reporting.

  • Overriding SLAs: You can now override an existing SLA and replace it with a new one using workflows.

We've also improved the visibility of all these new metrics in the Inbox and SLAs reporting, including custom reports!
