E-commerce
July 1, 2026
A promotional push notification often disappears as soon as it is opened or swiped away. The customer registers that there was a discount, product, or emergency, but can no longer find the exact conditions when they are ready to buy.
The chatbot must help locate the offer seen, verify its validity, explain exclusions, and escalate cases where the customer has proof of the offer but the code does not work.
This guide shows how to handle promotions seen via push notifications with an AI chatbot, without frustrating the customer who responded to a follow-up.
Summary
Why are push offers difficult to find?
Unlike an email, a push notification is short, temporary, and sometimes difficult to consult after the fact. The customer may have seen an offer without memorizing the code, the date, or the exclusions.
The chatbot must reconstruct the context: campaign, time, product, segment, account, and current cart.
An effective push offer must remain findable when the customer decides to act.

What information should be requested?
The bot may ask for the approximate time, the product viewed, the stored discount amount, the account used, the country, any screenshots captured, the shopping cart, and the error message if a code is blocked.
It must also check whether the offer was personalized, time-limited, exclusive to the app, or linked to a specific variant.
How to check validity?
The chatbot must verify the campaign, the start and end date, the eligible products, the channel, the stackability, the minimum purchase, and the concerned account.
If the offer has expired, it must explain so clearly. If it seems active but does not work, it must prepare a verification.
How do you explain a personalized offer?
Some push offers are linked to an account, a preference, a back-in-stock alert, or a cart reminder. The chatbot must explain that the offer can be associated with the account that received the notification.
It must not reveal internal targeting logic. The customer must understand the usage without receiving an intrusive explanation.
How to manage client proof?
If the customer has a screenshot of the notification, the bot must collect the image, the date, the cart, and the code if visible. The proof can justify a verification even if the system does not automatically apply the discount.
The chatbot must remain cautious: it forwards for analysis, but does not promise to apply the offer without validation.
Which flow to follow?
The flow must find the campaign before deciding.
Identify the account, time, product, stored discount, and push channel.
Search for the campaign and check the date, conditions, cart, and account.
Explain the found offer, its limits, or its expiration.
Collect screenshot and error message if the offer seems valid but is blocked.
Escalate valid proof, disputed personalized offers, and code bugs.
Which messages should be used?
To trace: "I will look up the push offer using your account, the product, and the approximate time."
To explain: "This offer was valid on [scope] until [date], according to the visible conditions."
To escalate: "If you have a screenshot of the notification, I can forward it with your cart for verification."
When to transfer?
The transfer is necessary if the proof is valid, if the personalized offer does not apply, if the code is blocked despite an eligible cart, if the amount is high, or if the campaign cannot be found.
The bot must transmit the account, assumed campaign, time, product, cart, screenshot, code, error message, and customer request.
Which KPIs should be monitored?
Track searched push offers, untraceable campaigns, submitted captures, blocked codes, post-assistance conversions, and post-frustration push deactivations.
These data show whether notifications are clear enough and whether terms and conditions remain accessible after sending.
Which mistakes should be avoided?
Avoid refusing an offer without searching for the campaign, revealing internal segmentation, promising a discount on capture alone, or ignoring a notification that has disappeared.
The chatbot should help find the offer, not punish the customer because the push format is ephemeral.
How can Qstomy help?
Qstomy can connect the chatbot to orders, calendars, customer history, notification preferences, push campaigns, QR codes, and support rules to answer clearly, then escalate sensitive cases with an actionable summary.
The chatbot helps the customer move forward without inventing a slot, an offer, an authorization, or personal data that still needs to be confirmed by a reliable source.

Key takeaways
Key Takeaways
A push promotion must be retrievable by account, campaign, time, product, and visible conditions.
What the customer must understand
The customer must understand whether the offer is still valid, for which cart, and why it might be blocked.
The chatbot's correct limit
The chatbot can find and explain the offer, but it must transfer valid proofs, code bugs, and disputed personalized offers.
