AI & Workflows
Can we include a human agent in the conversation between AI and the user?
Updated May 5, 2026
Yes — you can seamlessly hand off the conversation from AI to a human agent using the Human Handoff node.
What it does
The Human Handoff node transfers the conversation to a real person when needed.
You can trigger it from:
- Dispatcher (based on intent)
- Router (based on intent)
How it works
- User sends a message
- Intent is detected (e.g. “I need support”)
- Flow routes to Human Handoff node
- Conversation is transferred to a human agent
Ways to connect a human agent
You can choose how the handoff happens:
- HubSpot → creates a ticket and sends conversation history
- Intercom → creates a conversation for your team to reply
- Meta Business Suite (WhatsApp) → agent replies directly in WhatsApp
- Generic Webhook → send data to your own system
What gets passed to the agent
- Full conversation history
- User message context
- Any collected data (email, name, etc.)
Optional: ask before handoff
You can enable:
- “Ask a question before handoff”
This lets you collect details like:
- Name
- Phone
before transferring the conversation.
What the user sees
You can customize the message, for example:
“We’re creating a support ticket for you. Our team will get back to you shortly.”
Important to know
- Works with both Dispatcher and Router flows
- AI pauses during handoff (depending on provider)
- You can resume AI after the agent finishes (e.g. WhatsApp flow)
Simple rule
