Order tracking for online stores

An order tracking chatbot that clears where is my order chats

Risolva's order tracking chatbot asks for the order number and checkout email, looks the order up in your system, and replies with the carrier, last scan and delivery date on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger or web chat. Lost packages and refunds go to the person your rules name.

  • Order lookup through a custom action to your own order system
  • Asks for the checkout email or phone before sharing order details
  • Address changes run only after the customer confirms
  • Lost packages and refunds routed to the right teammate

Thanks, Megan, that matches. Your Pinecrest 2-person tent is with UPS and was scanned in Salt Lake City this morning. It's due Thursday, Oct 8. Want the tracking link?From Peak & Pine order system

Goes to your team: Marked delivered but not at the door? The lost or damaged rule sends that chat to Sam K.

Why where is my order (WISMO) chats pile up

Most stores email a tracking link the moment a label prints, and customers write in anyway because they want someone to tell them it's fine. Each reply means opening the order, opening the carrier page and typing the last scan back into chat. The volume climbs after every sale, holiday cutoff and weather delay, which is exactly when the team has the least time.

  1. Every answer takes two lookups: your order system, then the UPS or USPS page
  2. Split shipments and backorders turn one question into a back-and-forth about which item is where
  3. The chats that really need a person, like a lost tent or a refund, sit behind dozens of routine status checks

Inside four Peak & Pine order chats

Peak & Pine Outdoor sells tents, boots and packs and ships with UPS and USPS. Each answer below comes from a live lookup in its order system, which is what keeps WISMO automation accurate when an order is split, late or not yet packed.

Goes to your team: If Tyler would rather cancel the tent, that goes to your team unless you've also connected a cancel action.

I'm sorry, Rachel. UPS has order #20291 on a weather hold at its Denver hub, and the new estimate is Monday, Oct 12, so it won't arrive before Saturday. Would you like me to bring in someone from our team to see what we can do?From Peak & Pine order system

Goes to your team: If Rachel's next message reads as frustrated or angry, the rule "Upset customers go to Leah" routes the chat to Leah W. before the AI replies again, and Rachel gets the handoff message written for that rule.

Order problems your rules send to a person

Each Peak & Pine rule names whoever can act on that kind of order problem. Sam files carrier claims, the billing team approves refunds, Leah takes anyone who is upset, and customer care writes to VIPs about late orders. Routine status checks never reach them, because the order lookup already answers those.

  1. Lost or damaged packages go to SamP1
    Topic is Lost or damaged package
    Routes to Sam K.

    Sam files the UPS or USPS claim and sends a replacement tent or pack, which the AI has no way to do.

  2. Upset customers go to LeahP2
    Sentiment is frustrated or angry
    Routes to Leah W.

    A tent that won't arrive before a trip calls for an apology and a decision from a person, not another status update.

  3. Refund requests go to billingP3
    Topic is Refunds
    Routes to Billing team (group)

    Refunds need someone who can approve them in the payment system, and keeping return-policy questions under a separate Returns topic lets the AI keep answering those.

  4. VIP late orders skip the AIP4
    Customer is VIP and topic is Late delivery
    Routes to Customer care (group)

    Customers you've flagged as VIP hear from a person about a late order, even when they ask politely.

What your store connects for order status lookups

An order status chatbot is only as good as the lookup behind it. There's no ready-made Shopify or order-system integration, so lookups run through a custom action that calls your own API.

An endpoint that returns order status

Your order system, or the store platform it runs on, needs an API call that takes an order number and returns the status, carrier, tracking number, last scan and expected date. Include item-level status if you can, so split and backordered orders get explained properly.

A check before any details go out

Make the order email or phone a required field on the action, and have your endpoint return nothing unless it matches the order. For extra caution, a separate verification action can be required to succeed first. The Signed-in user only setting goes further: the lookup then runs only for web chat visitors your site has signed in, and not on WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger.

Shipping, carrier and returns pages

Add your shipping policy, UPS and USPS delivery times and your 30-day returns page as knowledge. They cover what no lookup answers, like whether you ship to Canada or how to send back boots that don't fit.

Setup with our team during onboarding

Someone on your side with API access works through it with the Risolva team during onboarding. Together you set up the lookup, plus an update_address action if your system supports one, and run test calls with a few real order numbers before customers see it.

Compared with a tracking page and shipping emails

Most stores already send a tracking link. Customers still write in, usually because the carrier page shows a scan code and not an answer.

What stores ask about an order tracking chatbot

An order tracking chatbot answers "where is my order" messages in chat. In Risolva, the AI looks up the order in your own system through a custom action and replies with the status, carrier and expected delivery date, on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger or your website chat. Questions it shouldn't handle go to your team.

Bring a few order numbers to your demo

We'll show how a lookup against your order system would answer them, which shipping questions your pages already cover, and which order problems your rules should send to a person.
