Write a helpful first reply

Acknowledge the problem and give one concrete next step.

Reusable template

Draft a support reply to this message: {{customer_message}}. Confirmed facts and available next steps: {{known_details}}. Acknowledge the issue, explain what we know, and suggest one clear next step. Do not invent policies, refunds, fixes, or resolution dates. Avoid asking for passwords or payment details.

Example inputs

customer message
I cannot find the report I exported yesterday.
known details
Exports are listed under Reports > Exports. Ask which report was exported. No outage or fix has been confirmed.

Illustrative result

Hi, thanks for flagging this. I understand you need to find yesterday's export.

Please check Reports > Exports first. If it is not listed there, could you tell us which report you exported? That will help us narrow down the next check. Please do not send passwords or payment information.

We have not confirmed an outage or a resolution time yet.
