Set Up 'When to get more help’

Prev Next

The When to get more help tile addresses scenarios reasons you do not want Sidekick to interact with. When Sidekick identifies an inquiry as one of the reasons detailed in this list, the Conversation instantly hands off to an Agent.

The “When to get more help” is made up of three key actions:

[A] View default transfer reasons

[B] Add supplemental transfer reasons

[C] Customize the transfer message sent to Customers when Sidekick hands off

Guidelines for customer handoff scenarios and required messages for agents.

Default transfer reasons

Below is a list of default transfer reasons already included in Sidekick Answers. These items are not removable or modifiable within the When to get more help tile.

  • The customer is threatening legal action

  • The customer is asking explicitly for a human or an agent

  • The customer is using a non-English language

All default transfer reasons are modifiable

Built-in transfer conditions can be edited or removed within the When to get more help tile.

Identify need for additional hand off scenarios

As you monitor Sidekick in weeks following implementation, you may find that supplemental hand off scenarios should be added to best support your Customers. Use the Sidekick Conversations page to review Sidekick interactions and evaluate Conversations where you would have preferred an Agent to step in.

Take a look at the following areas in particular:

  • Conversations with Sidekick handed off or Sidekick did not resolve outcomes

    • These Conversations ended with either a hand off to an Agent, or were passed up by Sidekick all together. Were any of these scenarios ones that Sidekick should have completed?

      • Consider removing any scenarios outlined in the “When to get more help” section that you would like Sidekick to attempt to engage with.

  • Conversations that have failed the quality check

    • Would a specific hand off scenario have helped the Conversation pass the quality check?

    • Include additional hand off reasons in the “When to get more help” section so that Sidekick can preemptively hand off any inquiries that may otherwise fail quality check. This will allow Sidekick to provide Agents with a Handoff Summary and optimize your Sidekick set up.

Not all quality check failures are best solved by creating more hand off scenarios
