How Zynli handles billing question workflows

1. Intent detection

Billing questions route to a dedicated workflow — charge lookups, invoices, and payment failures.

2. Knowledge base usage

Billing terms, refund windows, payment method policies, and subscription rules from your docs.

3. API workflow actions

Fetch charge details, invoice data, and payment status when your billing backend exposes endpoints.

4. Escalation or human handoff

Disputes, duplicate charges, and fraud reports route to finance or support queues with full context.

Operational value

Fewer repetitive invoice and charge explanation tickets
Faster first response on payment failures
Consistent policy answers across agents
Safer dispute escalation with lookup results attached

Where human handoff fits

Billing disputes, duplicate charges, chargebacks, and fraud reports must escalate to trained agents. Zynli passes the full conversation, order context, and any API lookup results on escalation.

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.

Billing Agent

Charges, invoices, payment methods, and billing disputes.

Example questions

· Why was I charged twice?
· Can I update my payment method?
· Where is my invoice?

Example actions

· Look up charge details via API
· Explain billing policy
· Escalate billing disputes

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
