What are AI Policies?
At Kodif, we’re excited to announce the launch of Policies—a powerful, dynamic solution designed to revolutionize the way CX managers handle customer support. Unlike traditional flows, which are rigid and complex, Policies empower non-technical users to create and manage customer interactions with ease. Written in natural language, Policies make it simple to define and refine customer experiences without needing to rely on complicated flowcharts or scripting. This approach is not only user-friendly but also self-serve, enabling CX teams to quickly translate existing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) into automation, saving valuable time and resources.
The flexibility of Kodif Policies ensures that businesses can offer personalized, context-driven support while continuously improving customer experiences. With Policies, you can experiment with different strategies to optimize outcomes such as CSAT, revenue, and retention—all without the need to rebuild complex workflows. Whether it’s automating routine interactions or testing new approaches for high-stakes scenarios, Policies provide a scalable, adaptable solution that aligns with your business goals. While flows still have their place in sensitive, high-risk situations, Policies offer an agile alternative that helps businesses innovate faster and deliver exceptional, tailored experiences at scale.
“Return order for refund or replacement” ticket type explained
In customer support, “Return order for refund or replacement” refers to the process where customers initiate a return request for their purchased items, seeking either a refund of their payment or a replacement product. This type of ticket is crucial for maintaining customer satisfaction as it addresses post-purchase concerns directly. Effective handling of these requests ensures customers feel valued and understood, thereby fostering loyalty and trust in the brand. By automating this process, businesses can streamline operations, reduce response times, and minimize manual errors, enhancing overall customer experience.

When should I use this policy?
Use this policy when customers want a refund. This automated process ensures that refund requests are handled efficiently and accurately, minimizing the potential for errors and ensuring customer satisfaction. Here’s how the logic works:
- Ask for the user’s email address
- Use @get_kustomer_account_details tool to check if the user with that email address exists in Kustomer.
- If the email address was not found, ask for a valid email address.
If the email address is still not found, route it to an agent for further investigation.
Display Recent Orders
- Use @get_loopreturns_orders to retrieve the user’s recent orders.
- Display the list of recent orders and ask the user which specific order they would like to inquire about.
If the order was not found, route to an agent for further investigation.
Check Refund Eligibility
- Use @loopreturns_order_details to check the status and eligibility of the selected order for a refund.
- If the order is eligible for a refund:
- Verify the return and refund conditions (e.g., within the return window, product condition, etc.).
If the order is not eligible:
- Inform the user that the order is outside the refund window or does not meet the conditions for a refund, and provide alternative options (e.g., store credit, exchange).
Initiate Refund Process
- If the order meets the refund criteria, ask the user to confirm their request for a refund.
- Use @loopreturns_issue_refund to initiate the refund process in Loop Returns.
Inform the user that the refund process has started, and provide them with an estimated timeline for when the funds will be credited back to their payment method (typically within 3-5 business days).
Notify the User
- Inform the user in the chat that their refund has been successfully initiated.
Loop Returns will send a confirmation email to the user regarding the refund status and details.
Refund Follow-Up
- Advise the user to check their bank or payment provider for any updates on the refund processing timeline.
If the user has questions regarding the refund status after the estimated timeframe, encourage them to reach out for further assistance.
Escalation
- If the refund cannot be processed or if there are any issues, route the request to an agent or create a ticket for further investigation.
- If the user prefers a store credit or exchange instead of a refund, offer these options and use the appropriate tools to process them.
