Contact Agent

Contact agent card

The contact agent card lets you make a transfer from the bot to a human. You can make a handover directly or make a transfer to agents within a certain skill or department.

Basic handover

Make a basic handover to an agent. The conversation will be placed in queue for all available agents regardless of their skill.

The fallback scenario is the scenario that should be triggered when no agents are online or available. In the most common cases it should link to a scenario saying something similar to Hey! We are closed 🤓
