Human handoff

Configure and manage human handoff triggers: smoothly transfer complex customer conversations from automated AI bot response to live human agents.

Seamless AI-to-Human Handover

While AI handles up to 80% of routine customer questions, complex edge cases or high-value sales leads require human empathy. ChatEaver's Human Handoff feature allows human agents to intervene instantly in any conversation thread.

Step-by-Step Human Takeover Guide

  1. Step 1: Open Dashboard > Chats.

  2. Step 2: Click on a conversation thread displaying a 'Handoff Requested' badge.

  3. Step 3: Click the 'Take Over Chat' button in the thread action header.

  4. Step 4: Type your response directly into the agent reply box and click Send.

  5. Step 5: Answer visitor questions directly through the live chat stream.

  6. Step 6: When resolved, click 'Return to AI Mode' or 'Mark Resolved'.

Automatic Handoff Triggers

  • Keyword Triggers: Visitor types phrases like 'speak to human', 'talk to agent', or 'representative'.

  • Fallback Count Threshold: AI fails to find knowledge answers twice in succession.

  • Sentiment Escalation: Visitor explicitly requests human support or expresses frustration.
