Who is this Handbook for?

This Handbook is for reception staff, agents, chat operators, and all those using Myma.ai to respond to customers. It’s here to help you use Myma.ai to maximize efficiencies and the customer digital experience.

What you will learn:

  • Understanding conversations

  • Taking over a conversation

  • Customer-initiated Live Chat

  • Ticket workflow

Channels

Where do conversations originate from?

When a customer starts a conversation with the Digital Assistant, first they receive an automated message set up in the Myma.ai Dashboard.

Website

The customer will send a message in the Chat Widget on your property website.

Facebook Messenger

Myma.ai can be integrated into the property's Facebook page.

Google Maps

Myma.ai can enable a Chat feature that appears on Google Maps Searches.

AI Automation

When a customer asks a question and the response

When a customer starts a chat with the Digital Assistant, first they receive an automated message set up in the Myma.ai Dashboard. As the customer asks questions, Myma.ai uses its AI trained brain to understand the intent of the question and then responds to this question and proposes a follow through action. All of the property specific responses are set up in the Myma.ai Dashboard.

Question understanding

You do not need to worry about this part! Designed to identify valuable information in conversations, Myma.ai is pre-trained to interpret meanings and distill valuable information from sentences, for a high quality, nuanced conversation. The customer success team at Myma.ai actively monitors all conversations to continuously improve the quality of the AI brain.

Responses

You can easily feed the property specific information through the easy to use Myma.ai Knowledge Hub section of the Dashboard. For every response, you can add one or more text messages, along with images, videos, or a link. We are always there to help you with the initial setup.

Missed Responses

If we do not find a response to a question, don't worry the customer experience is well managed. The guest is presented with an option to leave a message or initiate Live Chat. An email is auto-generated for you to go in and update the Knowledge Hub with the missing information.

Conversion monitoring and agent takeover

How to take over a conversation?

Rest assured, your Digital Assistant is at work 24/7 and can handle multiple conversations in parallel. Agents logged into the Myma.ai Dashboard can monitor the active conversations in real-time as they happen, and at any point take over the conversation for an enhanced customer experience or to solidify a revenue opportunity.

How do I know about an active conversation?

Look out for that robot icon on your screen which will turn green and start blinking. You will be notified with a sound alert when a conversation is ongoing.

Can I take over conversations from all channels?

You can monitor all conversations, but the takeover is available for the conversations originating from your website only. We are working with Google and Facebook Messenger on adding this agent handover feature.

Can multiple agents monitor the conversations?

Yes! Multiple agents can monitor the conversations. Once an agent takes control of the conversation, it is moved to their "My Chats" section and is not available for other agents.

How real-time is real-time?

Between milliseconds and 2 seconds, so its as real-time as it gets!

Introduction to Live Chat

Customer-initiated Live Chat

This is an optional feature that can be enabled on a property website. Please email us at [email protected] to turn this feature on. It is recommended to provide this option only if you have dedicated staff available to respond to the customers.

Enabling Live Chat

Enabling customer initiated Live Chat is easy and in your full control. You can choose how and when you want to make the option available (based on staffing levels) to your customers.

How Live Chat conversation work?

The customer is presented with a Live Chat option

The Digital Assistant will always try to assist the customer. When the Live Chat option is turned on, and the Digital Assistant is not able to help, it will provide an option to start a Human Chat, based on the property Live Chat settings.

When the customer clicks on Human Chat, they will get a message "Please wait while we connect you to an agent", and the magic begins!

Agent is notified about the Live Chat request

As soon as the customer requests a Live Chat, all online agents will get notified about the incoming chat request.

The first agent to accept the request will be handed over the conversation.

The backup plan (in case an agent cannot respond)

Digital Assistant waits for the agent to accept the chat, if no agent accepts it reverts to the following:

  • After 1 minute wait time, the customer is notified to wait while we connect them to the agent.

  • After an additional 1 minute of wait time, if no agent accepts the request, the customer is presented with an option to leave a message. This message converts into a ticket.

Tickets

Where the tickets originate from?

Tickets are usually cases that need a follow-up action by the property. Sometimes it is a unique question that the Digital Assistant decides is best handled by a specific team/person at the property. It could also be a question that the Digital Assistant was not able to answer and presented the option to the customer to leave a message.

There are four ways a ticket is generated for the property:

Customer leaves a message

If you have this option available, the customer can click and leave a message for the property. This will generate a ticket.

Customer submits a booking enquiry form

If the Digital Assistant detects a request for a group or conference booking the customer is presented with a customized form to capture this information.

Digital Assistant could not understand

Sometimes there can be a case where the Digital Assistant was not able to answer the question, when this occurs it presents an option to the customer to leave a message.

System generated tickets

If the Digital Assistant cannot answer a question, don't worry the customer experience is well-managed. The customer is given the option to leave a message for the property. An email is also generated for the property to go in and update the Knowledge Hub with the missing information.

Working with tickets

Subscribing to ticket notifications

You are alerted about any new tickets with an email. Watch out for emails from [email protected]

Subscribe to email notifications

To receive email notifications Go to Users & Roles and Click on "+ Subscribe to Tickets and Emails". You can add different email addresses for each type of notification. Options include:

  • New Tickets (for Leave a Message tickets)

  • Group Booking (for Group Booking inquiries)

  • Conference Enquiries (for Conference & Event inquiries)

  • Missing Responses (for System generated tickets)

Tickets workflow and status

Tickets are usually created in cases where a follow-up action is needed by the property. Sometimes it is a unique question that the Digital Assistant believes, needs to be sent to a specific team/person at the property, and other times it could be a question that Digital Assistant was not able to answer, and presented the option to the customer to leave a message.

All tickets can be viewed and updated from the Myma.ai Dashboard

How do I reply to tickets?

The best practice is to reply to the customer directly from the auto populated email that was sent. The replies are not recorded and tracked in the Myma.ai Dashboard.

The status levels of a ticket

The ticket is automatically marked as Open. You can change the status of the ticket to Pending, Solved, Spam, or Archived and capture those details of how / who actioned the response.
