Question 1
“What happens when the Customer Agent can't answer a question?”
Answer
✓Answered well
The Service Hub page covers this: the Customer Agent says so when it doesn't know and hands sensitive or new questions to the right queue with a short summary and the whole conversation. The Customer Agent page adds topic controls and a review queue.
Answer full page
When a question needs a person, the Customer Agent hands it to your team with the whole conversation attached, and it says so when it doesn't know rather than guessing. This page shows how that handoff works and how you choose the topics it never answers. The docs link below covers the exact rules that send a conversation to a person.
“Will my team see the customer's orders and past conversations on each ticket?”
Answer
✓Answered well
Service Hub states that every ticket shows the customer's orders, plan, past conversations and open deals. The retail page adds that orders, deliveries and returns appear on every conversation.
Answer full page
Yes. In Service Hub, every ticket sits on the same customer record as marketing and sales, so your team sees the customer's history before replying. For retail, that record joins ecommerce, stores and care, so each reply knows the order.
“Which channels can our customers reach us on, and is WhatsApp one of them?”
Answer
Partly answered
The site says Service Hub brings email, chat and form requests into one queue, and the Customer Agent answers in chat and email. It never says whether WhatsApp, SMS, social messaging or phone are supported, and gives no complete list of channels.
List every supported customer channel on /products/service
What is missing
WhatsApp is not mentioned as a supported channel or as unsupported.
Other messaging channels such as SMS, social messaging and phone are not addressed.
There is no complete list of the channels customers can use to reach a team.
Where
Update this section: extend the "Help desk" card, which names only email, chat and form requests.

What to do
Confirm with product which customer channels Service Hub supports today, including WhatsApp, SMS, social messaging and phone, and which the Customer Agent can answer on.
Add the confirmed channel list to the Help desk card, noting any channel that is not supported or needs an integration.

Name the shopper messaging channels on /solutions/retail
Who needs it: Retail customer care teams (this visitor: Online retailer)
What is missing
The retail care card mentions chat but not which messaging channels shoppers can use, such as WhatsApp or SMS.
Where
Update this section: add a line to the "Care that knows the order" card, beside "Orders, deliveries and returns on every chat".

What to do
Use the channel list confirmed by product for Service Hub.
Add the channels shoppers can use to reach care teams to the retail care card.
Done when: /solutions/retail says which messaging channels shoppers can use to reach a care team, including whether WhatsApp is supported. Depends on: “List every supported customer channel on /products/service”
Answer full page
The Customer Agent answers in chat and email, and Service Hub brings every channel into one queue so your team sees each conversation with the customer's full context. These sections show both. I don't have information on WhatsApp, so I'm happy to put you in touch with the team to confirm.
