Agent Takeover & Standby

When an agent is called and how the bot acts when in standby.

This guide is on our list, but it is not written yet. Rather than show you a blank page, here is what we can do right now.

The short version

Enough to unblock you until the full guide exists:

Open a conversation in Inbox and press Take over. Your bot stops replying in that conversation and you answer as yourself.
Standby means the bot is paused in that one conversation and waiting for you. It does not affect any other chat.
Hand it back when you are done, and the bot picks up from the next message.
