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.

“Restart subscription” ticket type explained

In customer support, a “restart subscription” ticket refers to a request from a customer to reactivate a previously canceled or paused subscription service. This type of ticket is common among businesses that offer subscription-based products or services, such as online streaming, software-as-a-service (SaaS), or subscription boxes. Handling these requests efficiently is crucial for businesses to maintain customer satisfaction and retention. By automating the process of restarting subscriptions, companies can streamline operations, reduce the workload on customer service agents, and offer a seamless experience for customers wishing to resume their subscriptions.

When should I use this policy?

This policy should be used when customers wish to cancel their orders, and there is an opportunity to implement a retention step. The process involves offering alternatives to cancellation, such as discounts or product swaps, to encourage customers to reconsider their decision.

Policy logic

The logic behind this policy begins when a customer wants to proceed with the cancellation within the #Single_order_cancellation_policy. At this point, the system provides cancellation alternatives:

1. Provide Cancellation Alternatives:
2. Discount Offer: Use @set_discount_to_order to offer a discount (e.g., 10% or 15%) on the current order if the user chooses to retain it.
3. Shipping Upgrade: Offer an expedited shipping upgrade free of charge to incentivize the user to keep their order.
4. Product Swap: Offer the option to swap the item for another product of the same or higher value at no extra cost.

5. Future Discount: Offer a discount for a future purchase, such as a 20% coupon for their next order, if they keep the current order.

6. Confirm Retention Decision:

7. Ask the user if they are interested in one of the retention options.
8. If the user accepts:
   • Apply the agreed-upon retention offer using the relevant tools (@set_discount_to_order, @upgrade_shipping, or other applicable retention tools).
   • Inform the user that the order has been updated and provide them with the relevant details (e.g., new discount, shipping upgrade, etc.).
   • Use @send_async_message(message: str) to notify the user that their order has been successfully updated with the retention offer.
   • Skio will also send a confirmation email detailing the order update.

9. If the user declines:

   • Proceed with the order cancellation as described in the #Single_order_cancellation_policy.

10. Post-Retention Follow-up:

11. If the user accepts the retention offer, thank them for choosing to keep their order and reiterate any benefits or bonuses (e.g., a future discount).

12. Ensure the user receives a follow-up message confirming that their retention offer has been applied.

13. Escalation:

14. If the user has any additional concerns or issues regarding the retention offer, route the case to an agent for further assistance.
15. In cases where the user insists on canceling despite the retention offers, proceed with cancellation as outlined in the cancellation policy.
