"The bot says invalid code when there is a space at the end." "The AI promises a new card without checking the admin." "Chatbot does not know if my gift card email has been sent." Three failures where a poorly calibrated gift card activation bot blocks redemption and escalates unnecessarily.
An e-commerce gift card activation AI chatbot does not replace GCACTIV agents (#997). It reads GCACTIV-MAP, checks code typos, cites mobilization status resend_steps and hands off resend manager to humans.
This guide #998 covers intents bot_gcactiv_*, flow GCACTIVBOT GAB-1 to GAB-8 and KPI gcactiv_bot. Bot pair of the GCACTIV playbook (#997). Use case: tier 1 administrative widget code status verification.
Summary
Why botify gift card activation?
"My code is rejected", "I didn't receive the email" and "is my card active?" arrive before first redemption. A TYPO-CHECK calibrated bot lookup admin masked, cites code_invalid activation_rules without recreating card or promising activation off-register.
What the tier 1 bot resolves
Code typo space: typo_fix_copy correction before invalid
Code rejected: code_invalid_copy map grounded
Activation status: status_check_steps_copy live API
Email not received: email_not_received_copy diagnostic map
Inactive card: activation_rules_copy map cite
Physical card delay: physical_activation_copy map cite
The bot intercepts bot_gcactiv_typo_fix before invalid declare or reroutes GIFTCARD if balance usage only is cited.
DTC holiday cosmetics example
Cosmetics brand 22 gcactiv_/month tickets, 16 widget sessions. Bot sync GCACTIV-MAP Day-0. gcactiv_bot_deflect +35%, gcactiv_bot_recreate_violation 0 in 5 weeks.

Which bot_gcactiv_* intents should be configured?
Eight gift card activation intents mapped to gcactiv_* typologies #997.
Eight bot_gcactiv intents
bot_gcactiv_detect : detect invalid code, missing email, activation mention
bot_gcactiv_typo_fix : typo_fix_copy space code correction
bot_gcactiv_invalid_cite : code_invalid_copy grounded map
bot_gcactiv_status_check : status_check_steps balance API masked
bot_gcactiv_email_guide : email_not_received_copy diagnostic map
bot_gcactiv_inactive_cite : activation_rules_copy inactive card map
bot_gcactiv_physical_cite : physical_activation_copy physical delay map
bot_gcactiv_handoff : B2B fraud manager resend → #997
Tier 1 auto : detect, typo_fix, status_check, invalid_cite, email_guide if email code + GCACTIV-MAP + guardrails.
bot_gcactiv_handoff, gcactiv_resend_email, gcactiv_ops_flag → agents #997 payload gcactiv_id code_ref email order_ref.
How do I consume GCACTIV-MAP #997?
The bot reads GCACTIV-MAP #997: gcactiv_id, activation_rules_copy, code_invalid_copy, email_not_received_copy, resend_steps_copy, typo_fix_copy, physical_activation_copy, status_check_steps_copy, balance_check_url, agent_handoff_url.

Flow GCACTIVBOT GAB-1 to GAB-8
Eight-step flow: ingest detect typo lookup verify answer guide reroute handoff log.
GAB-1 Ingest: message code rejected missing email inactive physical
GAB-2 Activation detect: bot_gcactiv_detect keywords code email
GAB-3 Typo check: bot_gcactiv_typo_fix trim invisible space
GAB-4 Registry lookup: GCACTIV-REGISTRY-GATE GCACTIV-MAP
GAB-5 Status verify: gift card API masked status balance live

Example TPL-GCACTIV-TYPO
"Space detected at the end of the code. Try: {{corrected code}}. Status: {{status_check_steps_copy map}}."
TPL-GCACTIV templates and touchpoints
Five short templates activation embed widget checkout page balance.
TPL-GCACTIV-TYPO
[typo_fix_copy map.] Corrected code proposed. TYPO-GROUNDED.
TPL-GCACTIV-INVALID
[code_invalid_copy map.] Card status [active/inactive]. INVALID-GROUNDED.
TPL-GCACTIV-STATUS
[status_check_steps_copy map.] [balance_check_url.] STATUS-GROUNDED.
TPL-GCACTIV-EMAIL
[email_not_received_copy map.] Check spam. EMAIL-GROUNDED.
TPL-GCACTIV-HANDOFF
[agent_handoff_url.] Request [resend / activate / fraud] forwarded. Policy [gcactiv_id]. Delay [handoff_sla].
Touchpoints
"Code declined at checkout": typo_fix + invalid_cite + STATUS
"Email not received": email_guide + EMAIL template
Gift card balance page: status_check entry
"Resend my code": handoff #997 not bot auto resend
Edge cases: resend, fraud, B2B, expired, balance only
Five cases outside tier 1 standard bot activation.
Resend email admin : handoff #997 RESEND-01 bot does not execute
Fraud card deactivated : handoff #997 manager verify
Corporate B2B lot : reroute corporate gifts
Expired card not inactive : reroute EXPIRED #999
Balance use only : reroute GIFTCARD
Bot does not issue card or auto-resend: non-negotiable NO-RECREATE-BOT guardrail.
Essential gcactiv_bot KPIs
Five GCACTIVBOT steering metrics and correlation #997.
gcactiv_bot_deflect: clarified activation without gcactiv_ ticket
gcactiv_bot_typo_fix_rate: % typo sessions resolved before invalid
gcactiv_bot_status_cite_rate: % status_check sessions provided tier 1
gcactiv_bot_handoff_rate: % resend activate routed #997
gcactiv_bot_recreate_violation: cards issued bot target 0
Target: recreate_violation at zero and typo_fix_rate above 40% post GCACTIV-MAP D-0 sync.
GCACTIVBOT anti-patterns
Five common gift card bot activation errors.
Declaring invalid without typo check: TYPO-CHECK-BOT before INVALID
Issuing a new card: NO-RECREATE-BOT handoff #997 only
Logging full code: CODE-MASK-BOT last4 only analytics
Auto-resending email: handoff #997 RESEND, not bot executed
Confusing EXPIRED #999: #998 inactive typo, not expiration policy
