Features · Hand off to an admin

On every plan

The AI knows when to step aside and hands the chat to your admin.

A customer asks to talk to a person, complains, sends a transfer receipt, or asks something that isn't in your store data. Admin Canggih, the AI admin for WhatsApp by Canggih.AI, stops replying in that chat and notifies you in the dashboard, and on Telegram if you've connected it.

my package came but the zipper is broken 😭 what do i do
I'm so sorry about that. I'm passing this to an admin so they can check it. Our admins are on Monday to Saturday, 09:00 to 17:00, so you'll hear back in the next working hours. In the meantime, feel free to send a photo of the damaged part.
ok, i'll wait

Illustration. After the 21:37 message, the AI stops replying in this chat. The store gets a dashboard notification, and if Telegram is connected, the Telegram message names the reason (a complaint). From there, an admin takes over. The working hours above are examples only.

03How it works

From a chat that hit a wall back to the AI again.

Set the triggers in AI Settings

There are built-in switches for payments, customer service, complaints and orders. Customer service and complaints are on from the start. Add your own handoff rules if your store has special cases.

Good to know (6)
  • Every handed-off chat goes into one store queue. There's no automatic routing to a specific admin or team yet.
  • How quickly an admin replies is still up to your team. If you fill in Team Working Hours, the AI can answer honestly when a customer asks when they'll hear back.
  • Notifications go to the dashboard, and to Telegram if the store has registered its Telegram chat. Notifications to the store owner's WhatsApp aren't available yet.
  • While a chat waits for an admin, the AI doesn't reply in it. If the customer writes again, the admin gets another dashboard notification, so make sure someone is on it.
  • Handoffs can't be switched off entirely. You can set the triggers, but a customer who asks to talk to a person is always handed off.
  • Your own handoff rules can't be used to ask for sensitive data, such as ID numbers (NIK), passwords or card numbers.
  • Built-in triggersBuilt-in trigger switches: payments, customer service, complaints and orders

05Questions

What you'll probably ask first.

When does a WhatsApp AI hand a chat to a human admin?

Admin Canggih isn't a chatbot that loops through a menu until the customer gives up. A chat goes to a human admin when the customer asks to talk to a person, there's a complaint or refund, the customer sends a photo of proof of payment, the issue is complicated or sensitive, the answer isn't in the store data, or a rule you wrote matches. Once handed off, the AI stops replying in that chat and the store gets a notification.

What makes a chat go to an admin?

When the customer asks for a person, which is always honored. When the issue is complicated or sensitive. When the AI finds no relevant answer in the store data. When there's a complaint, refund, return or defective item. When the customer sends proof of payment after ordering. When a rule you wrote matches. A handoff is also the safe route when checkout can't continue. Some triggers follow switches in AI Settings, but a request for a person can't be switched off.

Can I write my own rules for when a chat is handed off?

Yes. In AI Settings you can create up to 10 handoff rules of your own, each with a label and a short instruction. For example, chats with a voice note, or customers who want to order wholesale for their business. If one of your rules matches, the chat is handed off first, even before it enters the checkout flow. One limit: rules can't be used to ask for sensitive data such as ID numbers, passwords or card numbers.

How does an admin know a chat was handed off?

The store gets a dashboard notification saying who needs help. If the store's Telegram chat is registered, there's also a more detailed Telegram message: the customer's name and number, their last message, the reason for the handoff and the channel. If the customer writes again while waiting, the admin gets another dashboard notification. Notifications to the store owner's WhatsApp aren't available yet, so make sure someone watches the dashboard or Telegram.
