How does the AI decide what is urgent?

It looks at message content — refund intent, delivery-failure and damage language, and escalation phrasing — to flag conversations that need a human first.

Can we adjust what counts as urgent?

Yes. You can tune which categories and signals get flagged for your catalogue and policies.

Does flagging move the message automatically?

Flagged messages surface at the top of the queue and can be routed to the right agent or team.

Does this need the Cloud API?

It works on your Bow Chat team inbox; talk to us about your current WhatsApp setup and we will confirm the fit.

AI Flagging of Urgent Customer Complaints on WhatsApp for Ecommerce

Surface chargeback-risk complaints before they escalate

At scale, a WhatsApp support inbox is a wall of messages where an angry "where is my order, I want a refund" looks identical to a routine query. Bow Chat uses AI to flag urgent complaints — refunds, delivery failures, damaged items, escalation threats — so agents work the messages that actually risk a chargeback or a bad review first.

ProblemProblem Statement

A growing D2C brand gets hundreds of WhatsApp messages a day. Agents work top to bottom, so a furious customer threatening a chargeback waits behind routine size questions, and the team only learns it was urgent after the public review lands.

Pain PointsKey Pain Points

!Urgent complaints are buried in high message volume.
!Agents triage manually, so the angriest customers are found last.
!Refund and delivery-failure messages are not separated from routine queries.
!Escalation threats are noticed only after they become public reviews.
