Here’s a common Voiceflow pattern for adding a “human-handoff” branch when the user asks something specific:
1. Detect the user’s request
• Add a Trigger step (or a Logic ➜ If step) with an intent/condition such as
Docs: https://developer.voiceflow.com/v2.0/docs/trigger 2. Notify your live-support tool • Inside the hand-off block drop an API (or Custom Action) step that calls the system your team uses – e.g. Zendesk, Intercom, Slack, Microsoft Teams, etc.
• Send the user’s ID / last transcript so the agent sees context.
Docs: https://developer.voiceflow.com/v2.0/docs/api-step Tip: If you don’t want to build the integration yourself, marketplace apps such as Converso – “AI + human agent helpdesk” already handle Voiceflow → human routing. 3. Pause the bot & inform the user • Add a Message step right after your API call: “Sure, connecting you with a human agent now…” • Optionally use a Stop Turn path (or a flag in memory) so the bot stops replying until the human joins the channel. 4. When the agent is finished, have them send a special phrase (or call your Dialog API) to release control back to the bot if needed. Putting it together on canvas That’s it—once the trigger fires the user is routed to a live person and your chatbot stays silent until the hand-off completes.

, or look for keywords like “agent”, “live person”, etc.
• When that intent is matched the flow will jump to your hand-off block.Docs: https://developer.voiceflow.com/v2.0/docs/trigger 2.
