Challenges

Tier-1 is wait time, not expertise

Most inbound volume is order status, store hours, password resets, and “did you get my email.” Humans should not sit in that queue. Tabbly contains the common questions from your knowledge base and transfers the rest with a summary so the agent does not ask twice.

Key Capabilities

Resolve the top intents

Order status, delivery windows, returns policy, hours, and password / OTP flows you define.

Look up live data

Hit your order or account API during the call so the answer is current, not a static FAQ.

Warm-transfer with context

Intent, account id, and a short summary go with the caller. No “let me start over.”

Offer a WhatsApp trail

Tracking links and case numbers on chat so the caller is not stuck on hold for a URL.

Cover overflow and after hours

The published number still answers when the floor is full or closed.

Measure containment

Contained vs transferred vs abandoned, then tighten the script weekly.

Shipped yesterday, out for delivery today. I can send the tracking link on WhatsApp, or connect you to a specialist if the address is wrong.

Sent. If it does not move by 8pm, call this number again and I will escalate with the same order id.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it replace my whole support team?

No. It is built to contain Tier-1 and overflow. Refunds, medical, legal, and angry VIPs should still transfer — you define those rules.

Can it see live order status?

Yes, if you expose an API or webhook. The agent reads the order id from the caller (or ANI match) and speaks the current status.

What about existing IVR trees?

Most teams put Tabbly in front of the legacy IVR or replace the first two levels. Keep specialist queues behind a warm transfer.

How do I add new FAQs?

Paste them in the Tabbly builder or point at a knowledge source. No telephony change required.

Is this only inbound?

Inbound is the default. The same stack can run outbound “your ticket was updated” or “we need one more document” campaigns.

How is it priced?

From $0.05/min PAYG globally. India from ₹6.80/min. Seconds billing, talk time only.
