## Live Chat Support

### Live Chat Status

Toggle live chat so users can connect with your support team in real-time.

### 💬 Enable Live Chat

* Allow users to request **live chat support** directly from the chatbot

### ✅ Live Chat Active

* When enabled, admins are **notified of new chat requests**
* Users can start real-time conversations with your team

### How Live Chat Works

### 🔄 Process Overview

* Users request live chat through the chatbot
* Requests appear in the **admin dashboard**
* Admins can accept and reply instantly
* Entire chat history is automatically saved
* Sessions can be ended by either the user or the admin

### 🎯 Why Use Live Chat

* Helpful for **account issues**
* Useful for **urgent support** where AI alone may not be enough

## Voice Chat Support

Enable voice-based conversations between users and your team.

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="Enable Voice Chat" icon="mic">

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

> Great for users who prefer speaking rather than typing especially in support and onboarding scenarios.

## Human Handover Settings

Configure when conversations should shift from AI to a human agent.

### Enable Human Handover

Turn on human handover to give users the option to talk to a real person.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Allow Human Agent Requests" icon="handshake">
    Users can request to speak with a human at any time.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Automatic Transfer" icon="arrow-right">
    Conversations can be routed to support staff based on your workflow.
  </Card>

### Handover Message

This is the message shown when a conversation is transferred.

> **Default Message:**\
> *Your request has been transferred to a human agent. They will get back to you soon.*

You can:

* Make the message **more friendly & detailed**
* Use AI to refine the tone
* Or **keep the default message**

### Handover Method

Choose how handovers are handled.

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="Live Chat" icon="headphones">

## Best Practices

* Enable live chat during business hours for faster resolutions
* Use voice chat for premium or complex queries
* Review saved transcripts to improve training and automation
