- {{shipping_details}}: Any relevant shipping information, such as carrier, tracking number, or estimated delivery date.
- {{customer_question}}: The specific question or concern the customer has (e.g., delay, change address).
Instructions
- If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
- Greet the customer warmly and confirm the order details.
- Provide the order status and estimated delivery time in a clear, concise manner.

- Close by asking if there is anything else you can help with.
Output format Provide a response script that includes a greeting, status update, and closing. Use a friendly and professional tone.
Guardrails
