Chat as a human. Let Pengo do the busywork.
Pengo Actions do the work behind a reply: Pengo, or your team in one click, looks up orders, cancels them, skips payments, opens tickets and books meetings in Shopify, WooCommerce, Stripe, HubSpot and your calendar. You decide, action by action, what Pengo does on its own and what waits for your yes.
Changes start on Ask first · Every run logged
A customer asks to cancel an order. Pengo finds it, tells the customer it has asked the team, and the inbox shows an approval request with Approve and Reject buttons.
From question to done, in the conversation
- Step 1
Connect your tools
Connect Shopify, WooCommerce, Stripe, HubSpot and your calendar in Settings › Integrations, or your own backend with a signed connector. Pengo Actions appear for each one.
- Step 2
Choose how Pengo acts
Set each action to Auto, Ask first or Off, add guardrails like “auto up to $50, ask above”, and pick who approves.
- Step 3
Pengo acts in the conversation
Pengo acts as it chats, or asks first. While your team chats, the Actions button ranks the next best actions for one-click runs.
Choose how Pengo acts, action by action
Every action has its own switch: Team only, Auto, Ask first or Off. Lookups can run on their own while refunds wait for a person.
Only your team runs it
For actions you want a person to own. If Pengo is chatting, it says a teammate is joining, gets the action ready and hands over.
- The customer hears a teammate is joining
- The action waits, pre-filled, in the Actions panel
- One click to run it, with a drafted reply
Pengo just does it
For the safe, everyday work: order lookups, tracking links, tags and notes. The customer gets an answer in seconds.
- Runs inside the guardrails you set
- Stops and asks when an amount or limit is crossed
- Every run is logged in the activity feed
Pengo prepares it, a person says yes
For changes that matter: cancellations, billing changes, tickets. Pengo tells the customer it’s with the team and lets them know once it’s done.
- Approve from a phone notification, the Watch, email, Slack or the inbox
- Edit the details before approving, or take over the chat
- Whoever decides first wins; everyone else sees who did
Never happens
Switch off anything Pengo shouldn’t touch. It won’t offer it, and it hands the customer to your team instead.
- One switch per action
- Turn it back on any time
- Nothing runs while it’s off
Auto up to $50. Ask above.
Let Pengo handle the small stuff on its own and bring a person in when it matters. Amounts come from the order, never from what the customer typed.
-
Amount limits
Auto up to $50, ask above. Pengo works out the amount from the order itself, not from the chat.
-
Daily caps
Cap how much Pengo can refund or change on its own each day. Past the cap, it asks.
-
Identity checks
Sensitive actions run only for verified customers, or with the order number and email.
-
Who approves
Any agent for low risk, managers for high risk, and a second person above a teammate’s own limit.
Say yes from your Lock Screen, your wrist or Slack
Every request carries the customer, the order and the amount, so you can decide in a second. Whoever decides first wins; everyone else sees who did.
- PhoneA rich notification with the order, amount and customer. Approve with Face ID, decline or take over.
- Apple WatchApprove or decline from your wrist, without reaching for your phone.
- EmailReview the request and confirm on a secure page. High-risk changes ask you to sign in.
- SlackApprove, decline or claim the chat from the request in your channel.
- InboxDecide in the conversation, edit the details, or take over and reply yourself.
Customers always know where things stand
Pengo tells the customer when a request is with your team, and follows up in the same conversation, in their language, once it’s done or a teammate takes it from there.
- No dead endsWhile a change waits for approval, Pengo says so plainly instead of pretending it’s done.
- A follow-up, every timeApproved, rejected or failed, the customer hears what happened. Follow-ups never come from guesswork: they reflect what the action actually did.
- In their languageFollow-ups are written in the language Annika chats in, on the widget, email or any connected channel.

Built so nothing happens that you didn’t allow
-
Right customer, every time
Billing and cancellations run only for customers whose identity is verified. Order lookups also accept the order number with the email on it.
-
Changes start on Ask first
Every action that changes something outside Pengo waits for a person until you decide otherwise.
-
A record of everything
Every run, approval and rejection is logged with who decided, in the activity feed and the audit trail.
-
Least access
Pengo uses only the scopes each integration needs. Keys are encrypted at rest, and connectors are HMAC-signed.
-
Customers always know
Pengo tells the customer when a request is with the team, and follows up when it’s done, declined or handed over.
-
Nothing waits forever
Unanswered requests remind approvers, then hand the chat to your team. Expiry never approves anything.
A flat price per action. Lookups are free.
Pengo Actions use your plan’s AI credits at a fixed number per use, charged only when an action actually runs. Never on failure, rejection or expiry.
