Supportman FeaturesA support decision audit trail keeps every approval and reason retrievable, not buried in Slack DMs. What to capture and how to build one.
A refund approval workflow routes exceptions to a manager, captures the reason, and stores the record. How to build one your finance team can trust.
Telling agents to use their judgment produces inconsistent refunds and anxious agents. A real policy needs a threshold, an exception path, and a record.

Most support teams have no formal approval process, refund decisions, credits, and exceptions happen via DM with no record. Here is what a proper workflow needs and how to build one.
