Language detection

Rule

When the situation is language detection, the system should respond with one clear next step instead of a generic greeting or a dead-end form.

Customer-facing message

Hi customer name, I can help with that. Based on specific detail, the best next step is next step. I am routing this to owner with the context included so you do not have to repeat yourself.

Internal handling

Capture the customer's exact wording, especially numbers, dates, product names, and screenshots.
Add the reason or tag: CRM field.
Include what has already been tried.
Set the next owner and deadline.
Tell the customer what will happen and when.
If no owner is available, send the fallback message and set deadline clearly.

Quality bar

The customer should understand who owns the issue, what happens next, and when they will hear back.
