Transfer to agent

3min

The Transfer to Agent feature allows you to transfer a customer to an agent. This can be useful if you are unable to resolve the customer’s issue or if the customer would like to speak to someone else.

To transfer a customer to an agent, simply click on the “Transfer to Agent” button. You will then be able to select the category of the customer’s issue and the agent will be able to assist the customer.

The Transfer to Agent node allows the bot to seamlessly hand over the conversation to a live agent if needed. This provides a human touch when the bot reaches its limits.

Some example uses cases:

  • Transfer after several failed responses
  • Allow user to request an agent
  • Connect on sensitive topics like billing
