How does Relay Assistant (Auto-Negotiation) work?
Features & Capabilities
Relay Assistant is an intelligent Cardamon Amazon Relay auto-negotiation feature that automatically detects when Amazon Relay offers a special freight load with rate negotiation opportunities and handles the conversation automatically. This Cardamon Amazon Relay bot helps you secure better-paying loads through automated negotiation.
How this Amazon Relay rate negotiation automation works:
- Amazon Relay sometimes displays the Relay Assistant chatbot during freight booking
- Load booking bot detects when the Relay Assistant button appears on screen
- Automatically stops the Amazon Relay automation to avoid conflicts
- Automatically clicks the chatbot button to open the negotiation dialog
- Automatically sends your pre-written negotiation argument to the Amazon Relay Assistant
- Amazon Relay automation tool adds the initial payout in the latest chat message from the Assistant
- Load finder bot pastes the same message again into the chat input field (but doesn't send it - you can send it again if needed)
- When the Assistant increases the freight price (compared to the initial response), the Amazon Relay bot detects it
- If Fast Confirm is enabled, you can quickly press the "Auto Confirm" button to book the Amazon Relay load instantly
- Plays audio alert when Amazon Relay Assistant is detected
How to enable Amazon Relay auto-negotiation:
- Check the "Relay Assistant" checkbox in the load booking tool
- Fill out the request input field with your Amazon Relay negotiation argument
- Example: "Need higher rate due to bad weather conditions like heavy rains, traffic congestion on ghat roads, toll increases, or driver salary increases due to driver shortage."
- Click START to begin Amazon Relay load monitoring
- When Relay Assistant appears, your rate negotiation argument will be automatically sent
What triggers Relay Assistant?
Amazon Relay may show Relay Assistant when:
- Special load opportunities with negotiation potential
- Loads where Amazon is willing to increase the payout
- Rate negotiation scenarios where they need drivers
Best for: Automatically negotiating Amazon Relay rate increases on special freight loads. Your pre-written argument is sent instantly by the load booking bot, giving you the best chance at higher payouts through automated negotiation.
Pro Tip: Write a compelling but concise Amazon Relay rate negotiation argument. Example: "Need higher rate due to bad weather conditions like heavy rains, traffic congestion on ghat roads, toll increases, or driver salary increases due to driver shortage." Keep your auto-negotiation message professional and focused on value you provide.
