Prompt Pack · Customer Service

AI prompts for customer service teams

A starter prompt library for support and customer-service leaders — response drafting, escalation triage, knowledge-base articles from tickets, theme analysis, churn-risk flags, and QA. A person approves every customer reply.

How to use these

Copy a prompt into Claude (or your AI assistant of choice), fill in the bracketed parts, run it, and iterate. These produce a strong first draft — a person reviews and approves before anything goes to a customer. Keep what works in your own context library.


Response drafting

What it’s for: a fast, on-brand first draft of a customer reply.

Draft a reply to this customer message:

[Paste message]

Context: customer relationship is [strong / strained / new]; the issue is [resolved / in progress / can't be fixed].

Tone: warm, clear, accountable. Acknowledge the issue, say what we're doing, set a concrete next step. No corporate hedging. Keep it short. Give me two versions — one a touch warmer, one a touch more formal.

Escalation triage

What it’s for: deciding fast what needs to jump the queue.

Here are [N] open tickets:

[Paste tickets]

Triage each: priority (P1-P4) with a one-line reason, anything that's a churn or legal/PR risk, and which need a human now vs. can wait. Output as a sorted table, highest risk first.

Knowledge-base article from tickets

What it’s for: turning repeat questions into a reusable help article.

We keep getting this question: [topic]. Here are a few example tickets and how we resolved them:

[Paste]

Write a clear knowledge-base article: the question, a short answer up top, then step-by-step detail, plus "if that doesn't work" troubleshooting. Plain language, screenshots noted where they'd help.

Ticket theme analysis

What it’s for: finding what’s actually driving contact volume.

Here is a sample of [N] recent tickets:

[Paste tickets]

Identify the top 5 themes by volume, the likely root cause of each, and which are product issues vs. education/UX issues. Recommend the one fix that would reduce contact volume most. Quote real customer phrasing where it's vivid.

Churn-risk flag

What it’s for: spotting at-risk accounts in the support signal.

Based on this account's recent support history and usage:

[Paste tickets / sentiment / usage]

Assess churn risk (low/medium/high) with reasoning, the specific signals behind it, and 3 concrete retention actions the account team should take this week. Be honest if the signal is weak.

QA review of agent responses

What it’s for: consistent quality coaching without nitpicking.

Review these agent responses against our standards (accurate, clear, warm, sets a next step):

[Paste responses]

For each: a 1-5 score, what was strong, and one specific improvement. Then name the single coaching theme across all of them. Constructive, not nitpicky.

Macro / template generation

What it’s for: building reusable response templates for common cases.

Create response templates for our 8 most common support scenarios: [list scenarios].

Each template: a warm opener, a placeholder for the specifics, a clear resolution/next step, and a friendly close. Written so an agent can personalize in 30 seconds. On-brand, human, never robotic.
