Business Problem:
Currently, the AI Agent does not have the ability to check whether a user (agent) is online before assigning a contact. As a result, contacts may be routed to offline agents, leading to delays in responses and a poor customer experience.
Desired Outcome:
Enhance the AI Agent’s Assign to Agent or Assign to Team action so that it verifies agent availability first. The AI should:
  • Detect whether the target agent/team members are online and available.
  • If the chosen agent is offline, automatically assign the contact to another available agent within the team.
  • Optionally, allow businesses to configure fallback behavior (e.g., queue until online, assign to backup team).
