FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Escalate Customer Chats:

Does this move the full private conversation to a group chat?

No. You choose which customer details can be shared. The Agent posts a brief with a decision question, while the original chat stays in its support tool.

Who gets the escalation if no routing rule matches?

You choose a default triage teammate. That teammate gets the question in the group chat and can decide who should take it.

Will the Agent post the same handoff twice?

The Agent checks the group chat for the same customer conversation and reuses its link when it finds an existing handoff.

Who receives the handoff email?

You map chat owners to email addresses. The original owner gets the link, and you can set a support lead as the fallback for unassigned chats.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?

Yes. Every run creates a plain-language log that you can review and export. Logs are kept for twelve months.

What happens if I cancel?

The Agent stops at the end of the billing month and its tool connections are removed. Your run logs remain available for twelve months.
