Human Handoff

Configure Human Handoff

Configure a clear escalation path so the AI agent knows when to stop automating and how to direct the customer to your team.

Define the destination

Select the support destination your business monitors and describe expected response times accurately. Use a destination that is available to the customers and teams in scope.

Write the handoff guidance

  • Tell the agent which situations require escalation.
  • Specify what information should be collected before handoff.
  • Provide customer-facing wording that sets a realistic expectation.
  • Do not ask the agent to promise an immediate response unless your team can provide one.

Test the complete path

Test an explicit request for a person, an out-of-scope question and a failed action. Confirm the customer sees the correct next step and your team receives enough context.
