## What you can do with Freshdesk.

Freshdesk organizes customer support conversations, tickets, and help center articles.

### Take a delivery complaint through the remedy

Finn owns the support conversation around a delivery complaint, checks the shipment, and completes the applicable order remedy while maintaining the Freshdesk case.

**Typically handled by:** Retail and ecommerce support team

**Starts when:** A customer contacts Freshdesk because an order has not arrived as expected.

#### What Finn handles

1. Match the verified customer's Freshdesk contact to the order in connected Shopify and its shipment.
2. Retrieve the current carrier information and identify whether the package is delayed, delivered, or missing.
3. Apply the authorized replacement or order correction under the store's policy, securing approval for exceptions.
4. Send the customer the resulting details and record the remedy before resolving the Freshdesk ticket.

**The result:** The customer gets a completed delivery response and the case links to the corresponding order action.

### Complete a return conversation

Finn takes an eligible return from the customer's first request through the instructions and recorded refund result, using Freshdesk for communication and the commerce system for order actions.

**Typically handled by:** Returns operations and customer care team

**Starts when:** A customer requests a return through email or another Freshdesk support channel.

#### What Finn handles

1. Check the connected Shopify order, purchased items, delivery date, and applicable return policy.
2. Collect the return reason and issue the permitted return instructions through the configured returns system.
3. Follow the recorded receipt or refund authorization and execute the approved action in the payment system.
4. Update Freshdesk with the return and refund references, then send the customer their final confirmation.

**The result:** The return journey is tracked through its business outcome rather than ending with a generic policy reply.

### Finish a routine billing correction

Finn investigates the invoice behind a Freshdesk request, completes the permitted correction in the billing system, and sends the customer an explanation tied to the recorded transaction.

**Typically handled by:** Subscription billing support team

**Starts when:** A customer questions an invoice, a duplicate payment, or the timing of a subscription charge.

#### What Finn handles

1. Verify the account relationship and retrieve the invoice and payment from connected Stripe.
2. Compare the recorded billing events with the customer's request and the company's adjustment policy.
3. Make the authorized refund or billing correction, asking the designated approver to decide any exception.
4. Add the transaction result to Freshdesk and reply with the precise amount, reason, and reference.

**The result:** The billing case closes with a documented financial result or a clearly explained valid charge.

### Guide a customer through a documented fix

Finn uses Freshdesk solution articles to diagnose a familiar issue, takes the customer through the steps, and checks that the product works before resolving the conversation.

**Typically handled by:** Product support specialist

**Starts when:** A new support message describes a problem covered by the published knowledge base.

#### What Finn handles

1. Read the conversation and collect the product version, symptoms, and essential missing details.
2. Select the matching Freshdesk solution and explain the applicable steps in a usable sequence.
3. Use the customer's feedback to continue the documented troubleshooting path or identify the unresolved exception.
4. Save the successful fix and article reference, then mark the ticket resolved with the customer informed.

**The result:** A complete troubleshooting conversation leaves a useful resolution record instead of an article link alone.

### Manage one incident across many customer tickets

Finn recognizes when separate conversations concern the same service problem and manages the shared support workload while engineering restores the affected service.

**Typically handled by:** Support incident coordinator

**Starts when:** A burst of Freshdesk tickets reports the same error or unavailable feature.

#### What Finn handles

1. Identify matching symptoms and associate the customer cases with a common incident or reference ticket.
2. Connect the incident to PagerDuty for response ownership and retrieve confirmed engineering updates.
3. Send affected customers consistent updates without disclosing unrelated account information.
4. Once recovery is recorded, confirm remaining customer problems and resolve the cases that are settled.

**The result:** Related customers stay informed and the support queue reflects the incident's actual recovery state.

### Carry a reproducible bug into the release follow-up

Finn connects customer evidence to the engineering backlog, follows the fix, and brings the release result back to the person who reported the problem.

**Typically handled by:** Technical support and product engineering team

**Starts when:** A Freshdesk investigation shows that a product defect requires engineering work.

#### What Finn handles

1. Collect reproduction steps, screenshots or logs, environment details, and the customer's impact.
2. Create the linked Jira issue and record its reference in the Freshdesk ticket.
3. Track meaningful engineering changes and update the customer when there is a confirmed next step.
4. When the fix ships, send the instructions, confirm the customer's result, and resolve the case.

**The result:** The support request stays connected to the engineering outcome from initial evidence through customer verification.

### Repair a disappointing customer experience

Finn revisits a negatively rated Freshdesk case, identifies the unfinished customer job, and completes the authorized service recovery instead of only producing a feedback report.

**Typically handled by:** Customer experience and escalation team

**Starts when:** A customer submits poor satisfaction feedback or replies that the previous fix did not work.

#### What Finn handles

1. Review the ticket history, satisfaction rating, and the specific promise or action that failed.
2. Contact the customer with an informed follow-up and obtain the details needed to complete the job.
3. Perform the permitted correction in the connected business system and seek approval for policy exceptions.
4. Record the recovered outcome and share the recurring issue with the responsible support or product owner.

**The result:** The customer's unresolved need is addressed and the failure is captured for operational follow-through.

### Keep the help center aligned with real resolutions

Finn turns repeated solved cases into useful Freshdesk solutions, taking changes through the publishing process and linking the resulting guidance back to the support workflow.

**Typically handled by:** Knowledge base editor and support operations team

**Starts when:** Several resolved Freshdesk cases reveal a recurring question or an outdated solution article.

#### What Finn handles

1. Review the successful answers and identify the exact gap in the existing solution content.
2. Write or revise the article with the confirmed procedure, limitations, and expected customer result.
3. Obtain the required knowledge-owner review before publishing new or materially changed guidance.
4. Publish the approved solution and add its reference to the ticket responses or team resources.

**The result:** The help center contains a reviewed answer based on completed support resolutions.
