Speed is essential to providing great customer service on social media. Responding as quickly as possible makes your customers feel heard — and solving their problems quickly makes them feel valued.
Genesys offers several key features to improve the overall experience for agents and customers. This includes an optional auto answer — automatically assigning interactions to agents so they can handle them, as their workload permits. Agents can also access AI-generated responses fed to them based on the conversation. These can be used as-is or simply as a reference source.
Getting the right interactions to the right agent is key. When you’re managing direct messages, seamless social routing helps provide better customer experiences.
Agent skill, customer language, business rules, priority and availability are considered for all routing decisions. Once routed, you can ensure every social response is consistent, grammatically correct and follows your brand voice. Supervisors or managers are notified when responses surpass designated thresholds and they need to approve the response prior to posting.

To use social media for customer service, you should monitor your social media accounts for customer comments or queries, and respond in a timely and appropriate manner. You can also use it to proactively communicate with customers, post updates, handle complaints and provide helpful content. Make sure to maintain a positive and professional tone, and escalate issues when necessary.
Social media customer service is important because it’s where many customers engage. They might prefer to reach out to companies on social media, or they might voice their concerns or experiences there. Responding to these in a timely and positive way can improve customer satisfaction, protect your brand’s reputation and even win new customers.
Customer service teams respond to issues on social media by monitoring their accounts, acknowledging the customer’s message and addressing their concern. Depending on the issue, the response could involve resolving the problem, providing information, apologizing for a mistake or escalating the issue. It’s important to respond promptly, maintain a professional tone and demonstrate a commitment to resolving the issue.
