In that case, first, understand what happened, show in your reply that you are sorry that a certain situation didn't go as expected and that you understand how your client feels, as [Neil Patel suggests](https://neilpatel.com/blog/unhappy-customers-into-resource/). Then show your client that you've fixed the problem, or that you are working on it (if it's a long process to fix it). If a customer has raised an issue publicly, addressing it publicly is the way to go as it shows transparency and builds trust with your community.
