How to hand AI conversations off to a human

Set escalation rules so a Solveo AI agent shows Talk to a human and places the conversation in the Live Chat queue.

Steps

Do this in order

  1. Open live chat escalation settings

    In the dashboard, open the agent and go to the live chat / escalation settings documented at /docs/live-chat.

  2. Add an escalation rule

    Create a rule using a documented trigger: negative sentiment, keyword match, message count, low confidence, intent, or outside business hours.

  3. Confirm the Talk to a human handoff

    When a rule fires, the agent shows a Talk to a human button or stops and creates a handoff. The conversation appears under Live Chat → Queue.

  4. Reply from the team queue

    A human teammate opens Live Chat → Queue, takes the conversation, and replies. The customer stays in the same thread.

Not every conversation should stay with the AI agent. Escalation rules decide when the customer sees Talk to a human and when the thread moves to your team.

See Live Chat & Escalation for every trigger and the queue workflow.
