CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Agent-driven multilingual Front handler that routes, drafts a reply, and escalates

What it does

Fixed routing rules break on edge cases: mixed languages, urgent tone, or requests that span teams. This template hands each non-English Front conversation to an agent that reads the full context, picks the right action — route, draft, or escalate — and produces a translated reply draft for human approval. It reasons about urgency and intent instead of matching a static language map.

When to use it

Use it for higher-touch multilingual support where one-size routing isn't enough and you want an assistant that drafts a customer-ready reply in the right language, flags urgent issues, and leaves the final send to a human agent.

How it works

  1. 1A new non-English Front conversation triggers the agent.
  2. 2The agent detects language, intent, and urgency from the full thread via OpenAI.
  3. 3It decides the action: assign to a regional team, draft a reply, or escalate.
  4. 4It writes a translated reply draft into Front for the agent to review and send.
  5. 5For urgent or sensitive cases it posts a Slack alert to the on-call channel with context.
