How it works

All chats begin between a person and an AI agent. If the AI has the Human Handoff action, it can transfer a chat to a specific live agent, any live agent, or any live agent on a specific team.

When multiple live agents are online and eligible, the chat assignment rules for the current teamspace determine who receives the chat.


Configuration

Setting
Description

Assignment method

Balanced — assigned to the agent with fewest open chats. Random — randomly assigned. Round robin — assigned sequentially in order agents came online. Voluntary — agents self-assign from the pending queue; unattended chats remain in the queue.

Auto-assigned chats

Maximum number of chats a live agent can be assigned via Balanced, Random, or Round Robin. New chats queue until a slot opens.
