Refund risks and order issues resolved before they become chargebacks.

InboxIQ reads every customer email, classifies order issues, refund requests, and shipping complaints by urgency, and drafts replies grounded in your return policy and shipping timelines — so your team handles what matters first, automatically.

The Problem

High-risk customer emails are invisible until it's too late

Chargeback risks missed in the queue

A frustrated customer emailing about a missing order sits in the same queue as routine tracking questions. Without urgency scoring, the chargeback risk sits unactioned until it's too late to resolve it proactively.

Carrier notifications flood the inbox

Automated shipping updates, order confirmations, and carrier tracking notifications drown out real customer issues. Every minute spent on noise is a minute not spent on the refund request that needs an answer today.

Policy replies written from scratch every time

Your return policy, refund timeline, and exchange process are the same answer repeated dozens of times a week. Every manual reply to a standard policy question is time not spent on genuinely complex issues.

How It Works

Every customer email classified and actioned before your team opens it

1

Order type and urgency classified at intake

InboxIQ reads every incoming customer email and classifies it: refund request, order issue, shipping complaint, general question, or automated carrier notification. Chargeback risks and escalation signals are scored and flagged immediately — before your team opens the queue.

2

Policy-grounded draft replies in your drafts

Refund, exchange, and shipping questions get a draft reply grounded in your actual return policy and shipping timelines. Connect your help docs, Notion, or policy pages — the draft answers the specific question asked, accurately, without hallucinating policy details.

3

Carrier noise suppressed silently

Automated shipping updates, order confirmation receipts, and carrier tracking notifications are classified as transactional and archived silently — no drafts, no labels, no noise. Your inbox surfaces only emails that need a human response.

What gets automated

  • Refund and chargeback risk escalation

    Refund requests with escalation signals (frustrated tone, repeat contact, high order value) are flagged and forwarded to your ops team before the queue review starts.

  • Return and exchange policy drafts

    Questions about your return window, exchange process, and refund timelines get a KB-grounded draft. Accurate to your actual policy — not a generic "please allow 3–5 days" response.

  • Transactional noise archived silently

    Carrier updates, order confirmations, review requests, and marketing emails from suppliers are classified and archived without drafts or tickets — no noise, no distraction.

  • Refund and order issues are your highest-risk email type
  • Carrier notifications flood your inbox daily
