Review the designed inputs in the fit finder, then adapt them to your own team.
Open this example in the fit finderThe first practical move
Pick one requested answer and one qualification question. Verify the exact channel trigger and account conditions, then test uncertain questions and human handoff. Keep complaints in a resolution queue.
Why the category boundary matters
A Manychat profile is a research starting point for this social task. It is not an account-data requirement. Apollo should not appear just because the brand sells products.
What the pilot should measure
Time to a useful answer, correct handoff and unresolved questions.
This is a designed example, not a report of customer use, provider testing or measured performance. Replace the assumptions with your actual conditions before making a purchase.
The assumptions used in this example
These are designed inputs, not a measured customer case. Every assessment answer is listed below. Review the assumptions in the fit finder and change them before applying the plan to your team.

| Assessment input | Illustrative answer |
|---|---|
| What job needs to improve? | Qualify new enquiries |
| Who is on the other side? | Consumers |
| Where does the work start? | Social comment or direct message |
| How many relevant items per month? | 101–500 |
| How long does a decision usually take? | Under 14 days |
| Where is the current record? | Shared spreadsheet |
| Is the contact basis documented for this task? | Documented and reviewed for this task |
| What information is missing? | Conversation context |
| How can records move between tools? | Manual entry |
| Who owns replies and exceptions? | One named operator |
| What is the monthly software budget? | $100–$300 |
| Capabilities already available | None selected |
| Separate production tasks | None selected |
Trace one item through the workflow
A shopper asks for a sizing guide. The first response supplies the requested guide. If the next message asks whether a particular fit is suitable, the item moves to the operator with the source and previous answer. An order complaint goes to the issue-resolution queue instead of receiving another promotional response.
A practical setup sequence
- Choose one product-question workflow and one eligible social channel.
- Write the requested answer and a short branch for an unclear fit question.
- Confirm account and trigger availability in the current official documentation and actual account.
- Record what was delivered and who receives the exception.
- Test a normal request, an unclear answer, a duplicate and a stop request with controlled inputs.
The working record
Scroll horizontally to read all columns.
| Part of the record | What must remain visible |
|---|---|
| Source | The relevant post or message and its request |
| Response | The guide or answer actually delivered |
| Handoff | The unresolved question, owner and next action |
| Boundary | Support issues are routed to a case rather than marketing |
What would stop the pilot
Pause expansion if an unresolved question has no owner, a duplicate causes unwanted repeat contact or a stop request fails. A polished automated answer is not useful if the operator loses the context.
Compare useful response time, correct handoff and the age of unresolved product questions. Use a manual inbox baseline; the example does not assume automation improves those measures.
