Configure channel routing and AI handoff

Choose human- or AI-first support and define queue behavior after a handoff.

Updated 2026-07-24For: Administrators · Supervisors

The reception mode decides who responds first. Handoff settings decide who continues after AI stops handling the request.

Steps

Choose first response

Human-first sends work to the team queue. AI-first requires a tested and available agent.

Configure handoff assignment

Manual claim places work in the unassigned queue. Auto assignment selects an agent from availability and capacity.

Set the fallback scope

Keep assignment within the target team, or allow another online agent when that team has no capacity.

Choose AI seat behavior

When no AI seat is available, either wait for capacity or move directly to human support.

Verify reopening

Set the reopen window and test owner priority when a customer writes after closure.
