My tracking hasn't updated — what's happening?

How Zynli handles shipping workflows

Zynli routes shipping intents to workflows that combine knowledge base answers with live carrier or fulfillment API data.

1. Intent recognition

Visitors ask about delivery dates, delays, or carriers — the intent router sends these to your shipping workflow.

2. Knowledge base usage

Shipping SLAs, international rules, cutoff times, and carrier policies answered instantly from your docs.

3. API workflow actions

Pull carrier tracking, delivery estimates, and fulfillment status when your backend exposes them.

4. Escalation or human handoff

Lost packages, repeated delays past SLA, and damaged deliveries route to agents with full context and optional tickets.

Operational value

Fewer repetitive tracking and delay tickets
Faster first response with consistent SLA messaging
More accurate answers when live carrier data is available
Easier escalation for exceptions — agents see the full thread

Example workflow actions

Pull carrier tracking for an order
Explain shipping SLA from knowledge base
Branch reply: shipped vs. preparing vs. delayed
Create ticket for lost or damaged shipments
Escalate to human agent when carrier data is missing

Support workflows you can automate

Configure AI support for orders, shipping, returns, billing, and product questions — grounded in your knowledge base and connected to your APIs.

Shipping Agent

Shipping timelines, carrier updates, and delivery exceptions.

Example questions

· When will this ship?
· Why is my delivery late?
· Can I upgrade to express shipping?

Example actions

· Pull carrier tracking
· Explain shipping SLA from KB
· Create ticket for lost packages

AI resolves most issues. Agents handle the rest.

When automation can't resolve an issue — damaged goods, billing disputes, or policy exceptions — escalate to a human agent with full thread history and optional ticket creation.

Low-confidence answers trigger handoff automatically
Agents see chat history, citations, and workflow run logs
Escalations become numbered tickets on your kanban board
Customers track progress via magic-link portal

Frequently asked questions

Can Zynli answer shipping delay questions?

Yes. Zynli combines your shipping SLA policies from the knowledge base with live tracking data from connected APIs. When a shipment is delayed past your SLA, it can escalate to a human agent with full context.

Can Zynli use order or shipping data from my backend?

Yes. Zynli calls REST APIs via Actions & Flows to fetch tracking numbers, carrier status, and delivery estimates. Connect your fulfillment platform, OMS, or custom shipping service.

What happens if tracking data is missing or inconsistent?

Zynli answers what it can from your knowledge base (processing times, shipping methods) and escalates to a human agent when live data is unavailable or the case needs manual review.

Can Zynli integrate with ShipStation or Shippo?

Not natively. If your shipping platform exposes a REST API, you can connect it via Actions & Flows.

Can shipping answers work without an API?

Yes for policy questions (SLAs, international shipping, cutoff times) from your knowledge base. Live tracking requires an API connection.
