Customer
“Hey — my Slack agent stopped firing after I rotated the workspace token yesterday. Anything I need to do on my end?”
Agent draft · in your tone
Hi Lara — totally normal, the new token needs a quick re-auth. I've sent a one-click reconnect link to your Arahi inbox; once you tap it the agent will pick up where it left off (no re-training needed).
How does Drift work for chat support automation?
Drift works for chat support automation by powering an Arahi AI agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build. The agent connects to Drift alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for chat support, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review. AI handles common questions immediately, reducing wait times to zero for routine inquiries. Teams typically see instant around the clock once the agent is in production. You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

Customer reports a duplicate charge; refund queued, awaiting confirmation.
Customer asking what's included on the Growth plan vs. Pro.
Approve before it sends.
Every draft lands in a review queue. You approve, edit, or reject — the agent never acts on its own unless you explicitly turn that on for a workflow you trust.
Every action, with the reasoning attached.
Each step the agent takes is logged with what it did, why it did it, and which app it touched. Audit-ready, so security and compliance can sign off without backfilling.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. You can run chat support workflows in test mode using sample Drift data before activating on live records. This lets you verify every chat support rule works correctly with your Drift setup before processing real data.
Yes. You define exactly which Drift events start chat support workflows — new records, status changes, messages, or custom triggers. Each trigger can have conditions so chat support actions only fire when your specific criteria are met in Drift.
Yes. The chat support agent connected to Drift simultaneously interacts with 1,500+ other apps — CRMs, databases, email platforms, and more. A single chat support workflow can pull data from Drift, process it, and push results to multiple destinations.
The chat support agent scales automatically as your Drift activity grows. Whether you process 10 or 10,000 chat support tasks per day from Drift, the AI handles the volume without slowdowns or additional configuration.
Teams automating chat support through Drift typically save 10-20 hours per week on manual processing. The ROI dashboard tracks time saved, tasks completed, and error reduction so you can quantify exactly what Drift-powered chat support automation delivers.
No coding required. The no-code builder walks you through connecting Drift and configuring chat support rules visually. Your team can set up, modify, and manage Drift-based chat support workflows without any developer involvement.
When the AI hits an edge case during chat support processing in Drift, it escalates to your team with full context — the Drift record, what was attempted, and why it needs review. Your chat support pipeline never stalls or loses data.
Yes. You can create parallel chat support workflows that respond to different Drift events or conditions. For example, one chat support flow for new Drift records and another for updated ones — each with independent rules and actions.
Arahi AI connects to Drift via one-click OAuth, then runs chat support workflows that read and write Drift data on a schedule or in response to triggers. You configure the rules once; the agent executes chat support across every relevant Drift record without developer involvement.
Drift holds the data; AI supplies the judgment and throughput. Together they turn chat support from a manual, inconsistent process into one that runs at machine speed with a consistent quality bar — freeing your team to focus on the Drift-adjacent work that genuinely needs human attention.
