  • Integration established with JioMart’s internal order management system
  • Knowledge base of FAQs trained into the chatbot
  • Escalation paths to human agents configured
  • Analytics enabled for performance tracking

Basic Flow (Successful Scenario)

  • Customer opens WhatsApp and messages: “Where is my order?”
  • Haptik chatbot verifies the order ID and checks JioMart’s backend system.
  • Chatbot responds instantly with real-time delivery status.
  • Customer asks: “I want to return my last purchase.”
  • Chatbot initiates return request, validates eligibility, and provides next steps.
  • If customer asks a complex query, chatbot routes the conversation to a live agent with context.
  • Query details and resolution are logged for analytics.

Outcome: JioMart reduced first-response time by 60% and achieved 40% automation of customer queries, improving both efficiency and engagement.

Alternate Flows

A1: Invalid order ID: If the order ID doesn’t match, chatbot prompts the customer to re-enter details.

A2: Out-of-scope query: For queries outside the chatbot’s knowledge base, it escalates to an agent.

A3: WhatsApp delivery failure: If a message fails to send, chatbot retries and notifies the customer.

A4: Backend downtime: If order system is unavailable, chatbot apologizes and creates a follow-up ticket for resolution.
