Set Up a Chatbot with Live Handover
Build a chatbot that answers common questions automatically and hands off to a human agent when it can't help.
What you'll build
A web chat bot that answers FAQs and seamlessly transfers to Agent Inbox when it can't resolve an issue.
Prerequisites
- A CM.com account with Conversational AI and Customer Engagement access
- Web Chat configured on your website
Step 1: Create dialog flows
Set up dialogs in Conversational AI to handle your most common customer questions.
Step 2: Configure escalation
Add a dialog that detects when the bot can't answer and triggers a live agent handover via the Conversational Router.
Step 3: Connect to Agent Inbox
Configure the router to forward escalated conversations to Agent Inbox, where your support agents can take over.
