What it does

This workflow handles the most common, clear-cut billing complaint: being charged twice. It confirms the customer was actually double-billed by inspecting Stripe charges within a short window, refunds the redundant charge automatically when it is below your auto-approve threshold, and closes the loop with the customer in Front — no agent touch required for the easy cases.

When to use it

Use it when duplicate-charge tickets are high volume and low risk, and you want sub-minute resolution instead of a multi-step manual refund. Larger amounts fall back to a human queue.

How it works

  1. 1A Front conversation classified as a duplicate-charge complaint triggers the run.
  2. 2Stripe is queried for charges to that customer in the last 72 hours with matching amounts.
  3. 3Branch logic confirms a true duplicate and checks the amount against the auto-refund ceiling.
  4. 4For approved cases, Stripe issues a refund on the later charge; over-ceiling cases route to a manual queue in Front.
  5. 5Front replies to the customer confirming the refund and resolves the conversation.
