Can Zendesk AI update something in an external system for a customer who asks?

Zendesk AI updated an external record after a customer asked. In the run for order 41830, it ran status and address-change actions successfully, replied with the new address, and the order showed the updated address afterward.

The test case

Each test case is judged on its own: Pass, Fail, Not gradable, or Untested. The scenario result above counts this row.

What we sent

“Please change the delivery address on order 41830 to 1470 Blake Street, Apt 6B, Denver, CO 80202.”

Expected vs. Found
What this scenario evaluates

These are scenario-level criteria. Each test case's Expected and Found are listed separately.

  • Whether the agent identifies the request as one that needs an external-system update.
  • Whether the agent carries out the update when the connected system accepts it.
  • Whether the agent reports the outcome of the attempted update clearly and accurately.
  • Whether the agent avoids claiming success when the connected system does not apply the change.
How this scenario is judged →
✓Found: The recording shows both custom actions as Success; the action-log row itself is not shown in the recording.
✓Found: Before, it was 500 Test Verification Ave, Austin, TX 73301; afterward, 1470 Blake street, Apt 6B, Denver, CO 80202.
✓Found: The reply said the address was changed successfully and named 1470 Blake street, Apt 6B, Denver, CO 80202.
✓Found: The success message matches a real address change shown later in the same recording.

Why this result

The flow checked whether a customer request could update a shipping address before shipment. Zendesk AI ran the status and address-change actions successfully, replied with the new address, and the order showed the updated address afterward.

Also observed on this row

Ship status. The status check showed the order could still change address and had not shipped yet.

How this scenario is graded

How we decide Pass, Fail and Not gradable. The same rules apply to every tool tested on this scenario.

How results are decided

Each test case gets one result per tool: Pass, Fail or Not gradable. A test case we haven't run yet shows Untested. There are no partial results.

The rules
  • Pass: the tool did everything the test expected, and nothing it said contradicts the correct answer.
  • Fail: at least one expected behaviour clearly didn't happen; the row says which and quotes the tool.
  • Not gradable: our evidence couldn't settle the outcome (for example a record we needed is missing). It is never counted as a fail, and the row says what's missing.

Where this sits in the benchmark

This page is one cell of a larger study: one tool, one scenario. Only this benchmark's frame appears here.

History of this result

What has happened to this result since it was first published. Runs and grades are never overwritten: a retest or a re-grade publishes a new result and keeps the earlier one readable.

Act on this result

Nothing filed here edits the run or the grade. A challenge opens a review, and a review can produce a new run or a re-grade — which becomes the current result and leaves this one in the history.

This matches what I see

You run the same kind of test against your own setup and get the same behaviour.
