While AI chatbots are highly effective, sometimes human expertise is still essential. AI Chatbot Hub’s human support escalation feature lets you or your team step into any active chat session, taking over the conversation when needed.
In our multi-agent system, the human support agent functions like other agents, but instead of generating responses with an LLM, it routes the user's request to a human. To enable this feature, go to Customizations > Settings. Toggle on the feature.
There are a few functionalities to be configured for the Human support escalation feature:
Human agent requested message: the message that will be sent to the user when the AI supervisor detects that a human agent's help is needed
Notification sound: enable to hear a notification sound when a new support chat request is received
Live chat starts announcement: the message the user will see when a new support agent has taken over the conversation.
Live chat ends announcement
AI output alert triggers: add up to 10 messages for the AI to monitor
To test your human support escalation, generate a public link to the chatbot and open it in another browser tab. Note that the “Preview” tab doesn’t support human escalation testing. Go to the “Go Live” tab and click “Link".
With the link, open a new browser tab to access the chatbot as a user and test it by sending requests for human support.
To respond as a human agent, go to the “Inbox” in your AI Chatbot Hub tab, where an orange dot will mark sessions needing human support. Click on it to engage with the user by typing in the chat input at the bottom.
Once you send your first message, AI Supervisor and all AI Agents will pause, allowing you to converse directly with the user.
When you’re finished, click “End Live Chat” to return the user to the AI chatbot. Now the user can continue chatting with the chatbot, while the conversation is marked as resolved.
Adjust the criteria for human redirection as needed by fine-tuning the configurations to your taste.
Each browser requires permissions for notifications and sounds by website. Depending on your browser, make sure you enable both in your browser settings to receive notifications smoothly.
