How does human handoff work from Agentforce to a live agent?
Real World Scenario
Customers complain about repeating themselves after the bot transfers them. The interviewer asks how handoff should work.
Expected Answer
• When the agent cannot resolve or confidence is low, it escalates to Service Cloud routing
• Conversation transcript and summary should pass to the MessagingSession or Case
• Omni-Channel assigns the session to an available human agent
• The human sees context so the customer does not start over
• Configure clear triggers: low confidence, explicit "talk to a person," sensitive topics
