Human handover

A human handover passes a conversation, decision or task from an automated process to a responsible person. It should include the context needed to continue, the reason for escalation and the next action. Depending on the setup, that can be a live transfer or a recorded callback request. The distinction matters to the caller.

Why it matters for your business

Handover is essential when the request is unclear, sensitive, outside the agreed rules or requires a judgement the system cannot make. It protects both the customer experience and the team's decision rights.

A business example
