See How Breeze Customer Agent Improves Support

You’re running your business on a typical day when a product issue suddenly triggers a surge of customer inquiries. Your support team, already busy with their usual tasks, is overburdened.

Calls go on hold, emails pile up, and stress levels rise for your team and your waiting customers. Despite your team’s best efforts, response times slow, frustrations mount, and every delayed response could mean a lost sale. This increasing frustration is reflected in customer expectations.

  • 75% of customers expect responses within five minutes of reaching out online.
  • 62% of companies do not respond to customer service emails, and those who do often take over 12 hours to reply. 

It’s crucial to have efficient and effective customer service solutions to ensure your customers are not left waiting.

Continuing from the challenges of delayed responses, this is where AI-powered solutions like HubSpot’s Breeze Customer Agent can make a significant difference. The Breeze Customer Agent handles the surge of queries efficiently, ensuring that no customer feels neglected.

How to Set Up Breeze Customer Agent? 

To set up your Breeze Customer Agent, there are a few things you need to have in place first:

  • Set Up Live Chat: You’ll need at least one active live chat connected to your conversations inbox or help desk workspace. If you’re unsure how to do this, here’s a quick guide on creating a live chat.
  • User Permissions: Make sure you have Chatflows permissions. This allows you to create and manage your customer agent without any hitches.
  • HubSpot Tracking Code: If HubSpot doesn’t host your website but you still want to use the Breeze Customer Agent, you’ll need to add the HubSpot tracking code to your site’s pages. This code is crucial for the agent to function properly on non-HubSpot sites.

Here’s how you can do it step-by-step, ensuring you make the most of the Breeze AI capabilities for enhancing your customer interactions:

Step 1: Start the Setup

Log into your HubSpot account. Go to Breeze AI and select Customer Agent. Click on ‘Create agent’ in the upper right corner.

Step 2: Configure General Information

On the General Information page, enter a unique name for your customer agent in the Name field.

Configure General Information

You can choose a role for your agent from the Role dropdown menu. Options include Customer Support, Marketing Specialist, or Sales Representative. Define the agent’s personality by selecting traits like Friendly, Professional, Casual, Empathetic, or Witty from the ‘Personality‘ dropdown menu.

Step 3: Add Content Sources

Use the Add existing content dropdown to select articles from your HubSpot knowledge base, website pages, landing pages, and blogs. If you want to include content from outside of HubSpot, enter the URL in the ‘Public URL’ field.

 

Configure General Information

 

Step 4: Create Your Agent

After adding your content sources, click Create Agent at the bottom right of the page.

Step 5: Assign the Agent to a Chatflow

Ensure you have a chat flow with live chat set up; if not, create one connected to the conversations inbox or help desk workspace. Navigate to Breeze AI > Customer Agent, and go to the Overview tab. Click Assign Agent next to the chat flow under the Channels tab. Before assigning the agent, you can edit or turn on the chat flow.

 

Assign the Agent to a Chatflow

Step 6: Manage Transfer Settings

If the agent can’t answer a question, the visitor will be prompted to rephrase or transfer the chat to a human agent.

 

Manage Transfer Settings

 

Update the transfer settings by selecting who will receive the unanswerable conversations from the AI. If the AI can’t answer, assign them to the dropdown menu. You can send conversations to No one, leaving them unassigned, or select specific users and teams. If you don’t want the chat’s avatar photo to change to the newly assigned user, clear the Update chat heading avatar checkbox.

Step 7: Preview and Publish

Click Preview to review the responses your customer agent will generate. Then, toggle the switch to add it to your website pages. 

Once satisfied, your customer agent will be ready to interact with visitors, providing answers, citing sources, or transferring to a human if needed.

By following these steps, your Breeze Customer Agent is up and running, ready to enhance customer service operations and provide timely support to visitors.

Is Your Customer Agent Meeting Performance Goals?

To determine whether your Breeze Customer Agent effectively handles customer interactions, you can analyze its performance using the metrics provided in the Performance tab of your HubSpot account. This overview helps you understand several key aspects of your agent’s effectiveness and efficiency.

How to Access Performance Metrics:

  1. Log into your HubSpot account.
  2. Navigate to Breeze AI > Customer Agent.
  3. Click on the Performance tab.
Metric Description
Conversations Resolved Shows the total issues the agent has resolved, indicating effective management of inquiries.
Conversations Deflected Reflects the number of queries handled independently, reducing load on human teams.
AI to Human Handoff Counts the transfers to human agents, highlighting when the AI encounters complex issues.
Agent Workload Tracks the number of conversations or tickets the agent assigns, showing its utilization.
Unanswered Questions Indicates queries the agent couldn’t resolve, pointing to potential training needs.

 

These metrics are crucial for evaluating the efficiency of your Breeze Customer Agent. By analyzing trends in these areas, you can identify strengths and pinpoint opportunities for improvement.

 

Access Performance Metrics

 

 

For instance, many AI-to-human handoffs might suggest better training or updating the AI’s capabilities. Conversely, a high-resolution rate indicates your agent effectively addresses your customers’ needs. Regularly reviewing these metrics enables you to make informed decisions to enhance your customer agent’s performance and ensure it continually aligns with your customer service goals.

Best Practices for Optimizing Content for Breeze Customer Agent

When setting up your Breeze Customer Agent, it’s important to use content that enhances its ability to deliver accurate and helpful responses. Here are some guidelines to ensure the content is effective:

  1. Utilize Comprehensive and Updated Content Sources: Choose content like FAQs and knowledge base articles that address common user queries and are regularly updated to reflect the latest information.
  2. Structure Content Clearly: Organize your content with clear headers and subheaders. This helps the customer agent navigate the information and improves the user’s understanding.
  3. Enhance Readability: Use bullet points and lists to make the content easier to read and understand. This format helps in breaking down complex information into digestible parts.
  4. Keep Language Simple: Avoid complex sentences and jargon. Use plain language that is easy for all users to understand, ensuring the customer agent can relay information effectively.
  5. Incorporate Common Search Phrases: Include phrases and keywords that users will likely use when seeking information. This aligns the content with common search terms and improves discoverability.
  6. Use Variations of Search Terms: Employ synonyms and related terms to cover a broader range of user searches. This increases the chances that the customer agent can respond accurately to varied queries.

By following these best practices, you can enhance the functionality of your Breeze Customer Agent and improve the overall user experience.
