FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI automatically update my inventory in Channable?

    No. The AI can only read the return data to tell you what needs changing. You must perform the actual inventory updates yourself.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete any return records?

    No. The AI only has permission to read data through the list_customer_returns tool. It cannot delete or modify your Channable records.

  • 03

    Can I filter returns by a specific date range?

    Yes. You can ask your AI to only look at returns from a specific timeframe, such as the last week or a specific month.

  • 04

    Will the AI contact customers about their returns?

    No. This connector is designed for monitoring and data retrieval. It does not have tools to send messages or emails to customers.

  • 05

    How often does the AI see new returns?

    The AI sees data whenever you ask it to run the tool. It pulls the most recent information available in your Channable account at that moment.
