The conversation flow
When a customer sends a message, Egentify processes it through the following steps:- The AI receives the message and determines what the customer is asking for — a product recommendation, an order status, a refund request, or something else entirely.
- The AI decides which tools to call. Based on the intent, it selects the appropriate store API calls — for example, a product search, an order lookup by email and order number, or a fetch of your returns policy page.
- The AI calls your store’s APIs live. Egentify reaches out to your Shopify or WooCommerce store in real time to retrieve accurate, up-to-the-second data. No cached snapshots, no stale index.
- The AI returns a response with real data. The customer receives a precise, grounded answer — the actual stock level, the real tracking number, the exact refund status — not a generic reply.
What the AI can look up
Products & Inventory
Searches your product catalog by name, SKU, category, attribute, or description. Returns pricing, stock status, variants, and product details — in real time.
Orders & Tracking
Looks up order details by email address and order number. Returns order status, line items, fulfillment status, and carrier tracking numbers.
Store Policies & Pages
Reads your WordPress pages and posts or Shopify pages — returns policy, shipping policy, FAQ, about page, and blog content — so the AI can answer policy questions accurately.
Cart & Discounts
Adds items to a customer’s cart, applies coupon codes, and surfaces relevant promotions — turning support conversations into sales opportunities.
When the AI escalates
The AI handles the vast majority of requests on its own, but it knows its limits. It automatically creates a support ticket and notifies your team when it cannot resolve a request, when a refund requires human approval, or when a customer explicitly asks to speak with a person. Team members can view the full conversation history and take over any chat directly from the Egentify dashboard — the customer sees a seamless handoff with no interruption.Channels
Egentify meets your customers wherever they reach out. The same AI agent, store integrations, and escalation logic power all three channels.| Channel | How it works |
|---|---|
| Chat | An embedded widget on your storefront. Install via the Shopify Theme Editor or automatic WooCommerce plugin injection. Also embeddable manually with a <script> tag. |
| Voice | AI phone support. Customers call a provisioned number and speak with the same AI agent that handles chat. Available on the Growth plan and above. |
| Forward your support address to Egentify. The AI reads, triages, and replies to incoming emails, and threads them as tickets in the dashboard. |
