OK, so why not have a customer support bot add the “operation description” into a message queue (SQS, Kafka, whatever) if a formal API doesn’t exist for that operation? The csrs can then handle that task async and the customer can get a sms / email when their request is fulfilled? Why force things to be synchronous and irritate the customer?

It’s not exactly a difficult design problem. Unless I’m missing some thing.
