Automate your work using Customer IntentsUpdated 8 months ago
If you want to automate repetitive tasks, such as tagging tickets or responding to common questions, but do not want to spend a lot of time setting up rules, Gorgias offers a much more convenient way to simplify rules by using customer intent detection.
How it works
Each time a new customer message arrives, our system will try to figure out the customer's intent. Intents include:
- shipping/status
- refund/request
- exchange/request
- order/damaged
- order/cancel
- and many others
Intents can be used to automate your ticket processing workflow.

*other/thanks intent: This intent is often found on messages where the customer is concluding a ticket with a kind word or a thank you message to the agent. Examples of messages that correspond to this intent are "Great - thanks so much! Appreciate the quick response and follow up!", "Thanks so much! Will do!", "Oh ok cool. I think we'll all end up ordering one! Have a great night!" , "". Finding an 'other/thanks' intent on a message often means the ticket can be closed.
**other/no_reply: This intent is often found on messages that do not need to be replied to. Messages that correspond to this intent are for example "Your Amazon order has just been delivered" or "Call ended. Duration: 57s" or "A customer just ordered a ...". Finding an 'other/no_reply' intent on a message often means the ticket can be closed. Social media tags also fall into this category.

Intents editing
You can edit intents on ticket messages, to enable you to achieve accurate numbers in the intents statistics. This means you can change the intents of a message on your helpdesk for clarity and statistics purposes.
Initially, the main purpose of this feature was to collect data to improve our intent detection AI system, we have now collected sufficient data thanks to everyone who contributed.
