If you run a Shopify store, you already know the pattern. Orders grow, and the inbox grows faster. Every new sale brings a small tail of questions: where is my package, can I change my address, how do I return this, does this come in a different size. None of them is hard. All of them are urgent to the person asking. And together they quietly eat the hours your team should spend on the things only humans can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
