Update chat transfer trigger word

Hi there,

We are trying to determine if there is a way to configure the bot flow to allow different words to trigger the chat transferring to an agent. At this time, the only word that triggers the transfer to a live person is the word "agent". Things like, "transfer", "transfer me", or "customer service" do not trigger the bot to initiate the transfer. Instead, it goes through the intent confirmation loop.

Is this possible to do and if so, where could we find more information on where/how to do this?

Thanks!

What kind of bot are you using here?

We created a flow under Bot Flow in Architect.

I received the following email from Nicola Burns which answers the question. I'll mark the post as resolved but wanted to share in case others had a similar question.

The agent escalation phrases are built-in, so you are unable to change them. The agent escalation is not just a set of trigger phrases, there is a bunch of logic that builds up a list of different possible trigger phrases. I have pasted a number of example phrases below – this may not cover every single phrase possible. As you can see, the word “transfer” is included so I would be interested to know what you are trying to test to see if there’s something we need to update on the backend?

Another option, if you don’t want to use the built-in phrases, is to turn off the agent escalation phrases and create your own “agent” intent – just like you would any other intent. One of the drawbacks to this approach though, is that your customers will not be able to ask for an agent during an “Ask for Slot” action, as the bot is only checking for a slot value – rather than an intent.
