Transferring Calls to Human Agents in Agentforce

Share with

Understanding the Problem

When teams running Agentforce hit this issue, it is often due to a lack of understanding of how to properly configure the escalation process. This can lead to frustration and a poor customer experience.

Configuring Escalation Topics

To configure an escalation topic, you need to add it to the Agent and then configure the outbound Omni-Channel Flow. This will allow you to customize the message and ensure that calls are properly transferred to human agents.

Once you have configured the escalation topic and outbound Omni-Channel Flow, you should be able to transfer calls to human agents successfully.

The root cause of this issue is often a lack of understanding of how to properly configure the escalation process in Agentforce. This can lead to a poor customer experience and frustration for teams trying to implement the solution.

Implementing Customer Satisfaction Surveys

Another issue that was raised in the community was implementing customer satisfaction surveys at the end of the service. This can be done by using a similar approach to what is used in Service Cloud Voice.

It is also important to note that the survey results can be saved in fields, but this may require some custom configuration.

Heads up: When implementing customer satisfaction surveys, make sure to test the configuration thoroughly to ensure that it is working as expected.
