Retail & e-commerce agent templates

COD order confirmationFeatured

Calls customers to confirm cash-on-delivery orders before dispatch — confirm, change, or cancel by voice or keypad (1/2/3) — slashing return-to-origin losses. Logs every outcome and texts a confirmation.

Return & refund intakeFlow

Handles return and refund requests: looks up the order, captures the reason, and routes to a refund or a replacement — opening a ticket and texting the next steps.

Failed delivery resolution (NDR)Flow

Resolves failed deliveries by calling the customer to reattempt, reschedule, or cancel — capturing a clean address and slot, logging the outcome, and confirming on WhatsApp to recover the shipment.

Live order tracking (API)Featured

Looks up live order or shipment status by calling YOUR tracking API mid-call, then branches on the result: reads the status and ETA back when found, or apologises and escalates to a human when the lookup fails. The clearest example of wiring a real API into a flow.

Delivery serviceability check (API)Flow

Checks whether you deliver to a caller's PIN code by calling your serviceability API mid-call, then continues to booking when it's covered or offers an alternative when it isn't — with a graceful fallback if the API is unavailable.
