The account communication agent handles messages to the account, merchant, or internal account owner connected to a dispute. It should be called by the dispute handling workflow when the case needs clarification, documents, or confirmation before evidence can be prepared.

What It Does

The agent:
  • Reviews the structured case record and missing-information checklist
  • Drafts a concise message to the account or merchant
  • Uses the right channel for the relationship, such as ticketing, email, CRM, or internal messaging
  • Asks only for information that is needed for the current dispute branch
  • Handles supported languages and tone requirements
  • Returns a structured wait state to the workflow

Flow

Agent Instructions

The instructions should be narrow and operational:

Guardrails

Add guardrails for:
  • No guarantees about dispute outcomes
  • No collection of sensitive credentials
  • No use of evidence that is not account-provided, transaction-backed, or customer-facing
  • Escalate legal threats, account ownership disputes, regulatory questions, or high-value exceptions
  • Escalate when the account asks to change historical records or fabricate evidence
Keep evidence quality rules outside the agent’s judgment alone. The workflow should validate required evidence types before moving to approval.

Deployment Options

This agent usually does not need its own public deployment. In most systems, the dispute handling workflow calls it as a focused agent task. Use a direct channel deployment only when account messages come into a dedicated support queue and should be handled by this agent first.

Autonomous Agents

Configure the communication agent.

Guidelines
