"The bot redirects me to the partner brand for my return." "The AI promises a restock even though the collab is limited." "Chatbot confirms a partner Instagram promo that is missing at checkout." Three failures where a poorly calibrated co-branded bot contradicts COBRAND-MAP or externalizes customer service.
A co-branded e-commerce campaign AI chatbot does not replace COBRAND agents (#939). It reads COBRAND-MAP, routes according to the offer's brand order, references sav_responsible_party return_policy_collab, and hands off defect promises outside the map to humans.
This guide #940 covers intents bot_cobrand_*, flow COBRANDBOT, and KPI cobrand_bot. Pair bot of the COBRAND playbook (#939). Usecase: routing tier 1 collab without partner redirection or restock promises.
Summary
Why botify co-branded campaigns?
"Is this a real collab?", "who is handling my return?" and "sold out, restock planned?" skyrocket at the collab drop before human agent ticket creation. A bot calibrated to lookup COBRAND-MAP by collection SKU, cites the customer service point of contact and return conditions without improvising partner promises.
What the bot solves at tier 1
Collab authenticity: authenticity_proof partner_brand_name map
Customer service contact: sav_responsible_party SHOP-PRIMARY cite
Return conditions: return_policy_collab map grounded
Limited stock: no_restock_policy alternative_sku
Order lookup: order_ref SKU collection collab verify
Limited collab launches generate a support peak 48 hours post-drop if customer service for both brands is not visible on the PDP (AI Genesis, launch support 2025). The bot intercepts bot_cobrand_sav_responsible before redirection to the partner.
