A birthday offer is personal. If the customer does not receive it, cannot use it, or discovers exclusions at checkout, the disappointment is stronger than with a classic promotion.
The chatbot must verify eligibility, the registered date of birth, the sending channel, validity, conditions, and the cart status. It must avoid promising a birthday discount if the account or rules do not confirm it.
This guide shows how to handle support requests related to birthday offers with clarity and care.
Summary
Why does a birthday offer require more attention?
The customer perceives the birthday offer as personal recognition. A date error, an undelivered email, or a blocked code can therefore feel more frustrating than an ordinary promotion.
The chatbot must respond tactfully: verify the rules, explain what is blocking the process, and propose a next step without giving the impression that the customer has to earn their benefit.
A birthday offer must remain simple to understand, personal in tone, and precise in its conditions.

What information should be checked?
The bot must verify the account, the registered date of birth, the marketing subscription if necessary, the country, the sending channel, the validity period, the code, the cart, exclusions, and discounts already applied.
It must also distinguish between non-receipt of the offer, expired code, code already used, ineligible cart, and technical problem.
How can the non-receipt be explained?
The offer may not have been sent if the date was not filled in on time, if the customer was not subscribed to communications, if the country is not eligible, or if the campaign follows a specific rule.
The chatbot must explain the available cause without making up an excuse. If the data is incomplete, it must transfer or indicate how to update it for the future.
How can I help at checkout?
If the birthday code does not work, the bot must check the period, minimum amount, excluded categories, non-accumulation, connected account, and previous usage. These blocks must be explained simply.
If the customer has proof of a different offer, the chatbot must collect the screenshot and forward it to support.
How to manage after expiration?
The customer can request an extension if they missed the offer. The bot can explain the general rule, but it must not promise an extension without validation.
It can prepare a case if the customer did not receive the offer despite their apparent eligibility or if a bug prevented them from using it.
Which flow to follow?
The flow must verify account, period, and cart.
Identify account, anniversary date, country, channel, code, and validity period.
Verify eligibility, registration, dispatch, previous usage, and campaign conditions.
Check cart, exclusions, minimum, non-cumulation, and connected account.
Explain the blockage or prepare a verification if the rule is contradictory.
Escalate unjustified non-receipt, bugs, extensions, screenshots, and commercial gestures.
Which messages should be used?
To check: "I will check the eligibility of your anniversary offer on your account."
For terms: "This offer may depend on the period, the connected account, and the products in the cart."
For expiration: "An extension must be validated by support, I can prepare the request if needed."
When to transfer?
The transfer is necessary if the client seems eligible but has received nothing, if the code is blocked for no visible reason, if an extension is requested, if a screenshot proves a different condition, or if the account contains erroneous anniversary data.
The bot must transmit the account, date, code, channel, offer seen, cart, displayed error, screenshot, and client request.
Which KPIs should be monitored?
Track offers not received, expired codes, ineligible baskets, checkout bugs, extensions requested, birthday conversions, and claims by campaign.
This data shows whether the personal offer is perceived as a clear advantage or as a frustration.
Which mistakes should be avoided?
Avoid promising an offer without checking the account, hiding exclusions, coldly refusing a non-receipt, or automatically extending an expired code without a rule.
The chatbot must maintain a caring tone while respecting the campaign conditions.
How can Qstomy help?
Qstomy can connect the chatbot to manufacturing batches, product sheets, marketing proofs, beta programs, BFCM calendars, birthday offers, orders, and support rules to answer clearly, then escalate sensitive cases with an actionable summary.
The chatbot helps the customer understand what is confirmed without making up a batch, a result, a beta product stability, a BFCM promise, or a birthday discount that still needs to be verified by a reliable source.
