The Twilio Flex template app demonstrates how a Meya app can triage users based on their attributes, like customer status, or the product they're interested in. You'll also see how you can run flows using agent commands, and automatically request a CSAT rating when the chat ends.
Insurance use-case
This template app implements an insurance lead generation use-case, but could easily be adapted for lead generation in other industries, or for other use-cases where you want to deflect or streamline interactions users have with your agents.
