FAQ

FAQ

Practical answers to common concerns about deploying this AI agent.

The notification is triggered when Shopify emits a fulfillments/create event and the AI agent updates the PostgreSQL orders table. It then validates the customer phone, detects language, checks test-number filters, and sends a bilingual WhatsApp message with tracking details. If data is missing, the agent uses safe fallbacks and logs the attempt for debugging. The process is designed to be idempotent to avoid duplicate messages and ensure consistent outcomes across orders.

Yes. The agent detects language preferences from the customer profile and routes messages accordingly. It uses brand-appropriate tone to maintain a premium feel, and can be extended to additional languages if needed. Messages include the full tracking information and delivery estimates to set accurate expectations.

The Phone Validator detects the country from the shipping address or destination data, formats numbers to international style, and automatically applies the correct country code if missing. It enforces the + prefix and validates length to minimize failed deliveries. If validation fails, the notification is skipped and the attempt is logged for review.

Yes. Test numbers are blocked via a dedicated filter node, preventing accidental sends. You can run dry runs by simulating fulfillments and inspecting the local database and queue. After testing, you can switch on real-time operation with a single toggle.

The AI agent sends the available tracking data and includes the URL when present. If the URL is unavailable, the message still includes the order and carrier details, and the agent retries or logs for manual follow-up. You can update the template to reflect alternative tracking options as needed.

Yes. The WhatsApp templates can be customized to reflect your brand, including the language variants and the delivery window. You can adjust placeholders such as [name], [order_id], [tracking_number], and [tracking_url]. Any changes propagate through the workflow after template validation. Regular testing ensures copy quality and tone are preserved.

The AI agent runs with least-privilege credentials and uses parameterized queries to guard against SQL injection. Data handling aligns with standard security practices, and access is restricted to authorized users. Logs are maintained for audits, and PII is managed according to your policy.
