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

  1. User sends a message
  2. Intent is detected (e.g. “I need support”)
  3. Flow routes to Human Handoff node
  4. 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:

  • Email
  • 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)
