Where you spend your time

Why Travel Agency Customer Support teams switch

We know how your week actually goes

Travel support is the part of the job where a traveller is standing at a hotel desk or an empty gate and the agency's reply matters most. Much of the time goes on finding facts, not on the conversation.

Rebooking, refunds, compensation, and anything urgent stay with your people. The agent finds the options, builds the file, and drafts the reply for an advisor to approve.

What matters to you
  • In-trip messages read and drafted
    Each message from a traveller abroad is matched to its booking and a reply with real details waits for an advisor.
  • Urgent messages passed on untouched
    Anything mentioning a missed connection, lost document, or accident goes straight to the duty advisor.
  • Rebooking options ready after a cancellation
    Two alternatives that keep the rest of the trip intact are found and laid out before the advisor calls.
  • Complaint files built as they arrive
    Each complaint gets a logged clock, the booking evidence, and a supplier statement request.
  • Feedback gathered while the trip is fresh
    Post-trip surveys are drafted for each returned traveller, and a poor score is spotted the day it lands.
  • Built around your support desk
    These are examples of what a travel agency support agent can do. Build a custom agent for whatever your desk repeats.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Travel Agency Customer Support team's day.

The problem

Where the hours go

  • A traveller messages from a hotel desk in Lisbon at lunchtime, and the reply that finally goes out an hour later is a holding line, because finding the voucher, the address, and the transfer time means opening three tabs while the phone keeps ringing.

    An agent reads each in-trip message, pulls the booking details a reply needs, and drafts a specific answer for an advisor to approve, while anything urgent goes to the duty advisor untouched.

  • A cancelled flight strands twelve travellers, and the advisor spends the morning on airline sites and the GDS to find alternatives while their phones fill with messages, so the options reach clients after they have already booked something themselves.

    An agent lists every booking the cancellation touches, searches for two alternatives that keep the trip intact, and drafts the update for each traveller, so the advisor decides and calls with the options in hand.

  • A complaint arrives by email with a two-week-old hotel problem, and building the response means hunting for the confirmation, the supplier's emails, and the photos while the response target quietly runs down.

    An agent logs the complaint, starts the clock, assembles the evidence file, and drafts a supplier statement request and a response for the manager to edit and decide on.

  • Post-trip feedback arrives as survey answers, review sites, and phone notes nobody joins up, so the same poor transfer company shows up for months before anyone notices the pattern.

    An agent gathers survey answers and review notes, matches them to bookings, flags a poor score the day it lands, and lists recurring supplier problems for the operations manager each month.

Triggers

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

Your agents watch the apps you already use and act the moment something happens, usually within about a minute, handle it based on your instructions, 24/7.

WhenA traveller messages the agency while abroadfires within about a minute
The agent automatically

When a message lands in the agency's WhatsApp Business inbox, the agent reads it within about a minute, finds the traveller's booking, and drafts a reply with the hotel, transfer, or supplier detail asked for. A message about a missed connection, lost document, accident, or illness is not answered; it goes to the duty advisor as it was written.

Trust & control

You stay in control

A support agent sees traveller messages, complaints, and booking details at the moments they are most anxious, so it has to be supervised. Actionist is built so you see everything it touched, approve every reply, and keep every decision about money and safety with a person.

Every traveller reply waits for approval

In-trip replies, disruption updates, and complaint responses are drafted and queued for an advisor. Nothing is sent to a traveller on its own unless you widen that autonomy yourself with Approval Modes.

Urgent messages go to a person untouched

A message about a missed connection, lost document, accident, or illness is not answered by the agent and its urgency is not judged. It is passed to the duty advisor exactly as written.

Refunds and rebooking are your decision

The agent finds options, builds the evidence, and drafts the wording. Whether to rebook, refund, compensate, or offer goodwill is decided and approved by a manager or advisor.

Traveller data stays yours

Messages, bookings, and complaint files are encrypted and never used to train any model. Every action is logged, and you can self-host on a VPS if the data must stay on your own infrastructure.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does our support team need to be technical to use Actionist?
No. Actionist is built for support and operations teams, not developers. You describe how your desk handles in-trip messages, disruption, and complaints in plain language, connect the apps you already use, and the agent works from that. Most tools need no API setup because the agent operates them the way a person does.
How do I get started with a support agent for our agency?
Book a free demo and an Actionist team member will walk through your hardest support moment, whether that is disruption days, complaint files, or the in-trip inbox, and set up a working example against a sample booking. You then widen it one job at a time as you trust the drafts.
How do I build a custom agent for the way our agency handles support?
You describe the agent's role, the apps it uses, and which actions need approval. For complaints you give it your response target and the evidence you always want in the file; for disruption you say which airlines and portals to check. The examples here are starting points, and you can build a custom agent for any job your desk repeats.
How quickly can I set up a support agent?
A first agent, such as one that tags the support queue and writes the evening handover note, can be running within about a day of the demo. Agents that draft replies or complaint files take a little longer because you review the first outputs together and tune the wording to your agency's voice.
Traveller messages and complaint files are sensitive. Where does that data go, and is it used to train AI?
Your data stays yours. Messages, bookings, and complaint files are encrypted and never used to train any model, and every action the agent takes is logged. If the data must stay on your own infrastructure, you can self-host on a VPS.
How does the agent check flight status and airline portals when there is no API?
The agent operates the airline status pages, claim portals, and supplier screens the way a person would, reading what is on screen and recording the time it looked. Where an app does offer a connection it uses that. Either way, it reports what it saw and an advisor decides what to do.
Will the agent message a traveller mid-trip without me seeing it first?
No, not by default. In-trip replies, disruption updates, and complaint responses are drafted and held for an advisor to approve. You can widen that later for low-risk answers through Approval Modes, but anything involving money, a rebooking, or a safety concern always waits for a person.
Can it cope on a day when a strike or storm cancels dozens of flights?
The agent works through scheduled passes, so a big disruption means a longer list of affected bookings and more drafted updates rather than a missed check. The limit on a busy day is how fast advisors can decide and approve, which is why the lists are ordered by departure time so the most urgent come first.
Who decides on a refund, rebooking, or compensation, the agent or us?
You do. The agent finds the options, assembles the evidence, and drafts the message, but the decision to rebook, refund, compensate, or offer goodwill belongs to your advisors and managers, as does any legal or regulatory question. It also never judges how urgent a safety message is; it passes it to a person.
