Human Handoff and Team Routing

Make sure the right person gets the right conversation with enough context to act immediately.

  • route by intent, territory, product, or urgency
  • avoid asking the customer to repeat themselves
  • keep ownership clear when multiple teams are involved

How the workflow should run

  1. score the conversation for intent, urgency, and fit
  2. route to the right team, queue, or person
  3. attach the captured context before handoff
  4. resume automation after the human step if routine follow-up is still needed

Where human judgment still matters

sales, support, and operations keep judgment-heavy steps while automation handles the repetitive transition work
