When Tami escalates to a human, and lead handling

Tami doesn't pretend to replace you. She handles 70–80% of conversations and hands off the 20–30% that need a human call. Setting up the handoff rules is one of the most important things you'll do.

When Tami escalates automatically

How to configure

  1. AI Agent → Escalation rules.
  2. Pick the triggers — by keyword, sentiment, amount, customer type.
  3. Pick who the handoff goes to — a specific team member / group / your WhatsApp.
  4. Add a bridge message Tami sends before handing over: "One moment, I'm connecting you with someone from our team."

What the customer sees during handoff

Tami writes: "Thanks! I'm passing you to Danny on our team — he'll be back to you within 15 minutes". At the same time, you (Danny) get a WhatsApp with a summary of the conversation up to that point. You pick up right where Tami stopped.

💡 Tip Hot leads are worth gold — Tamit pings you on WhatsApp with "tap to open conversation". The link opens the customer's WhatsApp on your side, with full context. One tap = answer in 30 seconds.

Lead tracking

Under AI Agent → Open leads you'll see everyone Tami handed off that hasn't been picked up yet. Red = over an hour. Untouched — a hot lead cools to a 15% chance of closing.
