Use this workflow when a customer is unhappy and you need a calm, factual reply. AI can help with tone, but the outcome must match what you can actually do.
Prepare the complaint, known facts, policy position and what outcome is possible. Remove private details and avoid sharing blame or assumptions in the prompt.
Input: A customer says a delivery arrived late and asks for a refund. Output shape: acknowledgement, apology where suitable, next step and clear timescale.
