One pipeline from inbound message to confirmed resolution

Admin Shortstop is not a chatbot bolted onto an inbox. It is the operational layer between your communication channels and your CRM, with every step inspectable and every decision recorded.

Five steps, every single message

The same path runs whether a request arrives by email, phone, or text — which is what makes the queue predictable.

  1. 01

    Ingest

    Gmail push, Dialpad webhooks, and scheduled reconciliation write every event to a durable inbox before anything is processed.

  2. 02

    Match

    Senders resolve to an account or lead across email, phone, and normalized name, with a refresh-and-retry pass before giving up.

  3. 03

    Route

    Recent active tickets are compared against the new message to decide whether it continues a thread or starts a new one.

  4. 04

    Assist

    Urgency, closure, and suggested-reply decisions run independently, each with its own threshold and audit record.

  5. 05

    Resolve

    Follow-ups ask the customer directly, escalate on repeat dissatisfaction, and close tickets on confirmation.

Unified communications

Channels stop being separate inboxes

Gmail, Dialpad calls, voicemail, and SMS land in one queue, cleaned and attributed before a person reads them.

  • Push and webhook ingestion first, scheduled reconciliation only as a safety net.
  • Quoted history, signatures, tracking pixels, and form envelopes removed deterministically.
  • Attachments deduplicated by content hash so a reply never re-uploads the whole thread.
  • Excluded senders and domains filtered before any work is created.

Ticket routing

Fewer duplicate tickets, cleaner threads

Routing is a single, narrow decision: does this message belong to an existing ticket, or is it a new issue?

  • Only active, non-closed tickets from the recent window are considered.
  • Assignment and category stay with your team unless you explicitly configure otherwise.
  • Every routing decision records the candidates, the choice, and the confidence.
  • Deterministic fallback keeps the queue moving when the model is unavailable.

AI assistance

Bounded by a knowledge base you control

Suggestions are drafted only from approved answers, and never sent without a person in the loop.

  • Approved answer, internal action, and do-not-say on every knowledge-base entry.
  • Closed tickets generate training suggestions that require review before promotion.
  • Urgency detection is separate from routing and separate again from closure.
  • Provider, model, prompt version, latency, and cost captured per decision.

“Creeping charlie is one of the tougher broadleaf weeds and almost always needs a second application. Re-treatments are included at no charge under your program — I have queued a free service call for the driveway strip within 5 business days.”

KB-001 Weed regrowthKB-017 General guidance

Never sent automatically. A person reviews, edits, and sends — the draft just removes the blank page.

Follow-up and resolution

A lifecycle, not a status field

Pending tickets are chased, escalated, or closed on evidence rather than left to age quietly.

  • Seven-day prompt with three outcomes behind secure, expiring, single-use links.
  • A short change window absorbs mis-clicks before anything is applied.
  • Repeat dissatisfaction escalates automatically and notifies management.
  • Outbound-only tickets follow a silent lifecycle with no customer prompt.

Operational visibility

Built to be audited, not trusted blindly

Correlation IDs, retries, dead letters, and a manual queue for anything the system could not resolve on its own.

  • Durable event inbox means a downstream outage delays work instead of dropping it.
  • Failed events retry with backoff, then dead-letter with the full request and response.
  • Unmatched senders queue for a person and can be resolved and replayed.
  • Connection health surfaces expiring credentials before they break the pipeline.
