Shopify Customer Support Agent

Most store support is the same question wearing different clothes: where is my order. Answering it properly means opening Shopify, finding the order, checking fulfillment, then writing the same email again. This agent does all three the moment the email lands and leaves the reply in your drafts, quoting the real order and your real policies, so sending it takes a read and a click.

What people use it for

• Where is my order, answered - Delivery questions are the bulk of what a store inbox receives and the easiest to answer badly from memory. The agent opens the actual order and fulfillment record first, so the draft says what really happened to the parcel.
• Drafts you send, never autopilot - Every reply waits in Gmail until a person sends it. You keep the last word with your customers while losing the ten minutes of lookup and typing that came before it.
• Peak season without new hires - Volume triples around a launch or Black Friday while the team stays the same size. Drafts arrive at the same speed at 2am on Sunday as they do on a Tuesday morning.
• One policy, quoted the same way - Return windows and refund rules get remembered differently by every person answering. Here they come from one written policy, so two customers asking the same thing get the same answer.

Before you fork

What do I need to connect before it runs?

A Gmail account that receives your support mail and a Shopify store connection with read access to orders, customers, and fulfillments. Then you write two things in your own words: your store name and your support policies. The staged test runs let you read a few drafts before a real customer email ever reaches it.

Can it email a customer by mistake?

No. The only Gmail writing tool it has is create_email_draft, so the worst case is a draft you delete. It also cannot refund, cancel, or edit anything in Shopify, because it is wired to read operations there only.

What does it cost to run?

One short agent run per email that reaches the inbox, so cost tracks your support volume rather than a seat count. If the same address also collects order confirmations and marketing replies, point the Gmail trigger at a filtered label so those never start a run. Drafts you discard cost nothing beyond the run that wrote them.
