Questions about customer support automation
- Will it make things up?
- It answers from information you approve. Anything outside that scope is handed to a person instead of guessed at.
- Can it hand off mid-conversation?
- Yes. Escalation rules can transfer to a person by chat, text, or a notification to your team.
