Human Handoff

Your AI agent handles routine messages on its own, but you stay in control. When a conversation needs a human, you can take it over, reply yourself, and hand it back to the agent when you’re done.

When the agent is handling a conversation, the footer reads “AI is handling this conversation. Take over to send messages.” Taking over pauses the agent so your replies go out instead.

  1. Open the conversation in the Inbox.
  2. Take over to start replying yourself — the agent stops auto-responding.
  3. Reply directly from the message composer.
  4. When you’re finished, hand the conversation back to the agent so it resumes automatic replies.

You can also pass a conversation to a specific teammate — useful when it needs a particular person or team. The Handoff History panel at the top of a conversation records each handoff, so everyone can see who has touched it and why.
