Overview of the Handoff module

This module is primarily divided into three sections:

Handoff Settings: In this section, you need to define the available categories in the handoff section and establish handoff strategies for items within these categories. There are three main types of handoffs that can be configured:
1. File Ticket Handoff
  1. Utilize default ticket workflow.
  2. Employ rich ticket filing.
2. Agent Handoff
3. Deflection Handoff
  1. URL.
  2. Email.
  3. Chat Channel.
Live Agent Settings: Configure the type of agent handoff for a specific item. There are several types of support available for this which include:
1. Channel Handoff: Users can be redirected to a chat channel where agents can address their issues.
2. API Handoff: This is exclusively supported for Vayusphere, where a chat session can be initiated and the user can be redirected.
3. URL Handoff: Users can be redirected to a URL via the Moveworks bot.
4. Agent Broker Handoff: Moveworks also facilitates agent-broker handoff, thereby enabling a chat session between the agent and user within the bot itself. This ensures a smooth transition of messages and issue resolution. Currently, this is only supported for the following integrations:
  1. ServiceNow.
  2. 8x8.
  3. Amazon Connect.
Message Brokering: These settings can be used to onfigure the in-bot messaging experience between the user and the agent.
