How Support Integration Works

AI handles simple questions, humans handle complex ones

AI Handles First

Your AI assistant answers common questions instantly using your knowledge base. Most visitors get help without human intervention.

Detects Escalation

When AI can't answer, or the visitor requests a human, the system automatically triggers an escalation to your support team.

Sends Full Context

The entire conversation, visitor info, and page context are sent to your support system via webhook. Agents see everything.

Agent Takes Over

Your support agent responds directly in the chat widget (two-way) or in their own tool (one-way). The visitor gets help fast.

No External Tools Needed

Built-in Agent Portal

Your team can handle live chats directly from IncrediChat - no Zendesk or Intercom subscription required. Monitor conversations, take over from AI, and chat with visitors in real-time.

Live Chat Monitoring

Watch conversations in real-time. See what visitors are typing and how AI responds.

One-Click Takeover

Take over any conversation instantly. Offer human support proactively or when AI struggles.

Real-time Messaging

Instant message delivery via WebSocket. Typing indicators and presence detection included.

Team Queue Management

Shared queue for your team. Any available agent can accept escalated chats.

Configurable Escalation Triggers

You control when conversations get escalated to your team. Configure triggers per widget to match your support workflow.

AI Can't Answer

When the AI doesn't have enough information to provide a helpful answer, it automatically escalates to a human.

User Requests Human

Detect phrases like "talk to a human" or "speak to an agent" and immediately connect to your team.

Custom Phrases

Define your own trigger phrases specific to your business. Configure different triggers for different widgets.

Escalation Settings
billing issue cancel subscription refund + Add

Two-Way Communication

Agents can reply directly in the chat widget, creating a seamless experience for your visitors. No need to switch to email or phone.

Real-Time Messaging

Agent messages appear instantly in the visitor's chat widget via SignalR.

Full Transcript Access

Agents see the complete AI conversation before taking over. No context lost.

One-Way Option Too

Prefer to respond in your own tool? Use one-way mode to just receive notifications.
