Turn on Live Chat Directly
When a user sends a message to your chatbot, an Inbox Channel would be created. An agent can view user's conversation with the chatbot in the Inbox Channel. If needed, the agent can manually activate the Live Chat Mode and chat with user directly.
What is your Result?
When the agent thinks that the user's enquiry cannot be handled by the chatbot, the agent can toggle on the live chat mode and type text messages to interact with the user directly.
The agent switches off the chatbot and interact with the user directly
