Review conversations and take over a chat

Conversations shows every conversation your agent has had, with the full transcript and where each customer got to. When you want to answer someone yourself, switch that conversation to manual and the agent stops replying to it.

    Look for patterns

    Questions the agent couldn't answer, or places where customers stop, are the best guide to what to change next.

Take over a WhatsApp conversation

  1. 1

    Switch to manual

    In an open WhatsApp conversation, use the Conversation mode switch to move from AI to Manual. The conversation is marked MANUAL in the list. Taking over is available for WhatsApp conversations; website chat conversations don't show the switch.

  2. 2

    Reply

    Type your reply in the conversation. Replying from the dashboard is available for WhatsApp conversations within 24 hours of the customer's last message.

  3. 3

    Hand back

    Switch back to AI when you want the agent to continue.

While a conversation is manual, the agent does not reply to it. Remember to switch it back.

Get emailed about manual conversations

On Notifications you can opt in to emails about new messages in conversations you have taken over.

Check it worked

  • After switching to manual, a new customer message gets no agent reply and waits for you.

If it doesn't work

There is no Conversation mode switch or reply box.
Dashboard replies work for WhatsApp conversations only, and only within 24 hours of the customer's last message.
