How Answer Support Chats works

6 steps, in order, on every run.

  1. Read the Current ChatRead the new question and recent messages. Confirm the chat still belongs with the AI responder before continuing.
  2. Find a Help ArticleSearch the help articles you approve and read relevant results. Use the recent chat to understand what the customer needs.
  3. Decide Whether to AnswerCompare the question with your help articles and staff-only rules. Choose an answer when the articles support it, or mark the chat for handoff.
  4. Reply in the Same ChatSend a personal answer with the relevant article link when the article helps. Tell customers with unresolved questions that support will take over.
  5. Hand Off Unresolved ChatsTransfer unresolved chats to the support team you choose. Keep recent messages with the conversation so staff can see the context.
  6. Check the Chat OutcomeConfirm the answer appears in chat or the transfer reaches your team. Leave failed chats open for staff and show the failure in the support workspace.
