Human Handover Configuration:

Allows you to configure the action block that would invoke the Human Handover action at a point in the conversation flow, thereby transferring the control of the chat from the bot to the agent

When should I use it?

  • Transferring the chat to a Human-agent

  • Involving your support team when the bot does not answer the questions

How do I set it up?

You can follow the following steps to set the Human Handover functionality;

  • Go to 'Settings -> Live Chat -> Human Handover'

  • Switch on the 'Human Handover' functionality

  • Configure the agent availability under 'Operational Hours'

  • Add teammates in the 'Teammates' tab under 'Settings -> Account -> Teammates'

  • Create teams through the 'Teams' tab under 'Settings -> Account -> Teams'

  • Create a bot in the Bot Builder & add a 'Human Handover' action block in the flow

  • Configure the 'Human Handover' block

What happens when the Human Handover is successfully invoked?

  • The agents of the team will get the browser notification about the Human Handover action has occurred

  • The agents will be able to reply to the chat assigned to them from the Live Chat screen

The agents will not be able to transfer the conversation back to the bot and hence this will be considered to be the end of the flow The agents will have to click on 'Mark Done' to close the conversation

What are the different scenarios when Human Handover can fail?

  1. Human Handover is disabled

  2. When no agent is available

  3. When Human Handover occurs beyond operational hours

Upon failure of this action block, the failure message configured by you in the action block will be sent to the visitor by the bot
