Two kinds of question
Shoppers do not separate marketing from support. They ask about a product under the post that showed it to them, and they message the same account when a parcel is late. Sort the questions into two groups.
Before the purchase
“Does it come in green?” “Is this good for sensitive skin?” “Where can I buy it?” These are people deciding. A good reply answers the question, gives one link and stops. Speed matters because the interest is fresh, and the reply is public, so it answers the next reader as well.
After the purchase
“Where is my order?” and “How do I return this?” depend on records held by the store. A drafted reply can point to the tracking or returns page, but the specifics belong with a person who can see the order.
Build a reply playbook first
Before handing replies to any agent, write down the answers you already give and the link that goes with each. The playbook is what you check drafts against.
- Where to buy: the product page, every time.
- Sizes and variants: what exists, plus the size guide.
- Shipping: one line and the shipping policy page.
- Returns: a short, friendly answer and the returns page.
- Order status: the tracking page, then a person if needed.
- Complaints: no drafted answer. A person replies.
What to keep human
Review every draft at first, because repeated wording becomes the brand's voice. Keep complaints, refunds, damaged items and upset shoppers with a person for good.
Public comment or private message
Where a reply goes matters as much as what it says. Answers about sizing, stock and where to buy belong in public, under the comment, because the next shopper has the same question. Anything that involves a name, an address, an order number or a payment belongs in DMs.
A useful rule for checking drafts: if a reply would need a personal detail to be complete, the public part should be one line and an invitation to message.
Questions are product research
If several people ask whether an item comes in another color, that is a product idea. If shoppers keep asking how to use something, that is a carousel waiting to be made. Review the most common questions weekly.

Questions & answers
Can an agent look up a customer's order?
Only if it is connected to the store's order records, and Linkme's page describes no such connection for Link AI. A drafted reply can link to the tracking or support page, and a person handles the specifics.
Should replies to negative comments be automated?
No. Let the agent draft routine answers and have a person reply to complaints. A personal answer does more for the brand than a fast one.
