Hi @Beherasaptami. This would usually be handled using a custom action. Depending on what the platform you would be using for a live agent to talk to your users you can have an api call which sends the message to the live agent.

In addition to that, you may also want to use events "ConversationPaused" and “Conversations Resumed" to stop the bot once live agent takes over.

@Beherasaptami Which platform your live agent is using at the moment?

post by Beherasaptami on Feb 24, 2020

@Juste Currently we are using 3rd party software for connecting to live agents( drift.com) but we don’t want to use that anymore instead of that we want to build something which will connect to live agent without using 3 rd party software , let me know if is there any way to do that …

thanks saptami

Hi @nitz. Basically you need a framework which supports real time communication (example of that could be Salesforce Live Agent). If you have that, the approach would be similar to:

• In your stories you should have a few examples where when the conversation goes wrong, an assistant runs two actions: ConversationPaused and InviteLiveAgent

• Both actions should be the implemented as custom actions in your actions.py file. CoversationPaused is an in-built Rasa’s event which pauses the conversation between the bot and the user. InviteLiveAgent would be a custom action which connects the live agent.

Hi @Juste , I have done conversation paused .But I am not very clear how do I add a custom action which displays human agents answer .Can I get any same code or working example I have tried rasa-handoff/actions.py at master · moaazsidat/rasa-handoff · GitHub this didnt seem to work.

From my understanding :

#ask_human

*action_pause_conversation

*action_invite_agent

*action_resume_conversation

is the story .In action live agent invite how do handoff conversation between human and user.

The hand off is available in these starter packs and works well also the handoff happens from fin bot to help or help to fin bot for human hand off the conf has to changed to any other service or API where humans can converse .
