Handing over to a person: when the assistant calls in your team

AI asistent a znalostní bázeAktualizováno 18. října 2026Video 1:16Ve všech tarifech kromě Hub

Tento návod je zatím v angličtině.

The assistant answers clients, books appointments and quotes prices on its own. But sometimes a client needs a real person: a complaint, a health question, a price dispute or a direct request to speak to the manager. Then the assistant hands the conversation to your team. The reasons in your business profile decide when that happens.

Available on every plan except Hub.

Where to set it up

Open AI Agent → Business Profile, expand Advanced settings (optional) and find the Handing over to a person card.

How to set the reasons

In the Handing over to a person card, click Edit.
Click Choose reasons, tick the ones that apply and click Apply.
No reason that fits? Type your own in Your own reason and click Add.
Click Update.

Ready-made reasons:

Reason	When it helps
Complaint about service quality	The client is unhappy with a result or the service
Refund or reschedule outside policy	Money or an exception to your rules is a person’s call
Bulk booking for an event or group	Weddings, hen parties, corporate events
Press, partnership or supplier inquiry	The sender is not a client but writes on business
Price dispute or discount request	A discount is agreed by the manager
Question the agent could not answer	Neither the profile nor the knowledge base has the answer
Health concern or contraindication	Pregnancy, allergies, medication
Rude or aggressive client	The conversation is better continued by a person

The assistant understands reasons by meaning, not exact words: “the polish came off on day two” counts as a complaint. Keep your own reasons short, like a category: “Home visit request”, “Booking for a child under 12”.

What your team sees

The Client is waiting for an operator card. When the assistant hands a chat over, a card appears at the top right of the dashboard: the reason, the client’s name and phone, the channel and how many minutes ago it happened. The card arrives with a sound, and if nobody responds within 3 minutes, the sound repeats. If browser notifications are allowed and the dashboard tab is in the background, you also get a browser notification.

The card has two buttons:

Open chat opens the conversation with the client;
Hand back to AI gives the chat straight back to the assistant when no person is needed.

When the assistant hands over a phone call, the card reads Call: operator needed and has an Answer button.

The Awaiting admin folder. In Chats you’ll find the conversations where the assistant called a person and nobody has replied yet. The chat card shows an “Awaiting admin” label and the reason.

How to reply and hand back to the assistant

Open the chat: you see what the client wrote and where the assistant stopped. While an operator has the chat, the assistant stays quiet and you reply. To pass the chat to a colleague, pick them in Who’s handling this chat in the chat header.

When you’re done, click AI in the chat header (or Hand back to AI on the card). The assistant answers the client in this chat again.

Alerts outside the dashboard

Telegram. Open Settings → Notifications and connect a Personal chat or your Team group chat. The bot sends a message when a client needs a person: the client’s name and phone, the channel, a short summary and a button that opens the chat. Task reminders arrive there too.
Solwees mobile app. A handover arrives as a push notification. When the assistant hands over a phone call, the app rings like an incoming call.

Tips

Don’t add prices, the address, opening hours or the service list as reasons. The assistant answers those itself from the profile and the knowledge base and won’t pass them to a person.
The more complete your profile and knowledge base, the less often the assistant needs a person.
Connect Telegram for at least one person per shift, so handovers don’t wait until someone opens the dashboard.
Try it in the test chat: write as a client would, for example “I want to complain about my stylist”.

FAQ

Do I need a reason like “the client asks for the manager”?

No. When a client asks for a person, the assistant hands the conversation over even without that reason.

Does the assistant always go quiet after a handover?

No. When the client asks for a person directly or the matter is urgent (health, payment), the assistant hands the chat over and the Client is waiting for an operator card appears. In other cases it notifies your team (the chat goes to Awaiting admin and a Telegram alert is sent) and keeps helping the client until you step in. When the salon is closed according to its working hours, the assistant doesn’t promise to connect the client: it notifies the team and tells the client they’ll hear back during opening hours.

Will the assistant come back to the chat on its own?

Usually the chat stays with the operator until you click AI. The exception, so the client isn’t left without an answer: if more than an hour has passed since the handover or the operator’s last reply, nobody on the team has written in any chat during that hour and nobody has opened this chat in the last 15 minutes, the next client message goes to the assistant again.

What does Hand back to AI do if I’ve already replied?

The chat goes back to the assistant, and it answers the client’s next message. Your messages stay in the conversation.

The card is gone. Where’s the chat?

In Chats, the Awaiting admin folder. The card disappears once you open the chat, hand it back to the assistant or close the card.
