CUSTOMER SUPPORT AUTOMATION: TASK-SELECTION AND LAUNCH WORKSHEET
FullSession | Prepared 19 October 2026 | Ungated working template

Use this worksheet to define the work, not just the bot response. Complete one record per distinct customer goal or exception path. Example: an alert permission answer, alert creation and a failed-save investigation require different records.

1. SELECT THE TASK
Customer's goal:
Where the request occurs (channel / surface):
Representative cases reviewed and date range:
Observed request volume, if available:
Present handling pattern / customer wait:
What makes this worth improving:
Related but distinct goals to separate:

2. CHECK THE SIX DEPENDENCIES
A. Outcome: What exactly should the customer accomplish?
Answer:
Evidence / owner:

B. Source: Which current approved policy, instruction or data source governs it?
Answer:
Conflict / missing source to resolve:
Source owner and last review:

C. Identity and data: What account/workspace identity and data are required?
Answer:
How unauthorized account access is prevented:

D. Permitted work: What operation may the automation perform?
Answer:
Actions outside this workflow's authority:
Required confirmation / decision maker:
Connection / supported interaction path:

E. Completion: What observable result proves success?
Answer:
How it is checked:
What is recorded if the result is unknown:
Retry / duplicate-handling requirement:

F. Human path: Who owns an exception?
Destination and owner:
Information to preserve:
Availability message / service-hours policy:
Follow-up destination if nobody is available:

3. MARK READINESS
Choose one:
[ ] READY TO TEST: Defined outcome; current approved source; appropriate identity/data/action scope; observable result; human destination.
[ ] NEEDS A DEPENDENCY: A source, connection, permission check, result check or human destination still needs work.
[ ] NEEDS A DECISION: Policy, authority, approval requirement or exception ownership is unresolved.

These are planning labels, not measured performance scores. Frequency alone does not resolve a dependency. Among ready-to-test tasks, prioritize recurring work with a meaningful customer payoff.
Readiness owner:
Next action and due date:

4. WRITE THE WORKFLOW
Trigger / customer request:
Starting state and identity:
Knowledge/data:
Permitted action:
Required confirmation:
Expected result:
Completion evidence:
Failure or uncertain-result behavior:
Human path:
Scope / where it will run:

5. TEST BEFORE EXPOSING THE WORKFLOW
For each test record expected result, actual result, pass/partial/fail, evidence and owner.
[ ] Normal supported request.
[ ] Missing detail or ambiguous request.
[ ] Outdated / conflicting source.
[ ] Unauthenticated request for account-specific data.
[ ] Authenticated person without required permission.
[ ] Request for another account/workspace's data.
[ ] Declined confirmation.
[ ] Connection unavailable.
[ ] Save/action fails.
[ ] Timeout after an action that may have succeeded.
[ ] Repeated request / duplicate risk.
[ ] Customer asks for a person.
[ ] Receiving teammate unavailable.

A privacy violation or falsely claimed completed action fails the relevant mandatory requirement. Do not average it away with otherwise fluent responses.

6. LAUNCH AND REVIEW
Workflow owner:
Source owner:
Application connection owner:
Human queue owner:
Audience / surface:
Normal-case acceptance criteria:
Exception acceptance criteria:
Immediate intervention / withdrawal conditions:
How to withdraw the action path while preserving useful help:
Review sample and schedule:
Next expansion decision:

7. MEASURE THE RESULT
Define eligible task starts before launch. Denied or out-of-scope tasks should not silently disappear: report those separately and disclose exclusions.
Reviewed answer correctness: correct reviewed answers / answers reviewed.
Verified task completion: eligible starts with matching confirmed result / eligible starts.
Unknown result: no sufficient result evidence; keep distinct from verified success or verified failure.
False completion: reported success contradicted by the actual result.
Useful handoff: correct destination, relevant context and truthful availability in reviewed transfers.
Repeat contact: same task within the defined window, where identity can be matched.
Time to verified result and time to owned handoff: track separately.
Feedback: state respondent count and task/channel mix.
Observation period, denominators and data sources:
Costs to include: software, connected services, human review and exception handling.
