To **connect orders and customer support**, the conversation and the order have to be the same record — or at least connected ones. Support answering without order context is the source of most escalations.

## Why support and fulfilment drift apart

They run on different systems, and the customer does not care.

- Support asking customers for order numbers they already provided
- Stock availability unknown when answering a delivery question
- The same customer contacting by message, email, and form
- No record of what was promised in a conversation

## What connecting them gives you

- **Order context** visible while answering the conversation
- **Stock levels** available when discussing availability
- **Conversation history** attached to the customer record
- **One queue** regardless of the channel the customer used
- **SLA tracking** across all channels consistently

## How to set it up in Jestor

1. Build the orders and clients tables in **Jestor**, connected to each other.
2. Connect the **WhatsApp** number so each conversation creates a record.
3. Add the native email address so email requests enter the same pipeline.
4. Surface the client's connected orders inside the conversation card.
5. Add an **AI** agent to handle routine questions, with human handover for the rest.

## Why choose Jestor for customer operations?

Because **Jestor** is relational, a conversation card can display the customer's orders directly — which means support answers from the record rather than asking the customer to repeat themselves.

Every conversation becomes a record with **SLA** tracking, so response time is measurable on **WhatsApp** and email alike rather than only on the channel that happens to have reporting.

## Frequently Asked Questions
