Route customer complaints to the right department automatically

A customer complaint form assigns a case number, logs the details, and notifies the right department instantly.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs.

The problem it solves

Customer complaints and requests come in through a form, but sorting them, tracking them, and getting them to the right person takes manual effort every time. Without a clear system, requests get lost or sit unanswered while customers wait for a response.

Who it fits

A customer service or public-facing team that handles complaints, requests, or claims through an online form.

How it works

A customer submits a complaint, request, or claim through your form
The system identifies what type of case it is
The customer gets a confirmation that their submission was received
The case is logged to a spreadsheet with a case number, and a Google Chat notification alerts the department responsible for handling it

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
