When a Customer Asks for a Human

When Multi-Agent Routing is on and a customer asks to speak to a person (for example "talk to a human" or "real person"):

  1. The conversation transcript is emailed to the Support Email.
  2. The customer is told their request has been passed on.
  3. If a Support URL is set, a button with your Support Button Label opens it in a new tab.

Handoffs are recorded on the Chat Logs and ROI Dashboard tabs.
