Purpose and benefits

Workflow Overview: Chatbot With FreshChat Integration

This workflow enables a customer support chatbot that is tightly integrated with FreshChat. It is designed to automatically answer user queries using your business’s internal knowledge base, and if needed, seamlessly escalate conversations to a human support agent via FreshChat. The flow provides a scalable and automated way to handle routine inquiries, ensuring users get instant help, while also allowing for smooth handover to live agents for complex or unresolved issues.


Step-by-Step Workflow Description

1. Chat Initialization and Welcome Message

  • Trigger: When a user opens the chat, the ChatOpenedTrigger node activates.
  • Response: The flow immediately sends a friendly welcome message using the MessageWidget, which is displayed via the ChatOutput. The message introduces the AI support bot, explains its capabilities, and reassures users that a human agent is available if needed.

2. User Input Handling

  • Input Collection: The ChatInput node captures messages or file uploads from users.
  • Chat History: The ChatHistory node maintains the conversation context, which helps the AI provide coherent and relevant responses.
  • Document Retrieval: The DocumentRetriever node is used to search the internal knowledge base for information relevant to the user’s question.
  • Tool Calling Agent: The core logic is managed by the ToolCallingAgent node, which:
    • Receives the user’s message, chat history, and results from the document retriever.
    • Uses a system prompt to ensure the AI acts as a technical support specialist for your specific business.
    • Answers in the same language as the user, greets appropriately, and refers to internal documentation to answer questions.

4. Human Escalation Logic

  • If the AI cannot find a satisfactory answer in the knowledge base:
    • For English queries: The bot prompts the user to connect with a real agent.
    • For non-English queries: The bot first asks if the user is willing to be connected with an English-speaking agent. If confirmed, it offers the handover.
  • This escalation mechanism is powered by the FreshChatHumanAssistToolComponent, which integrates with FreshChat to transition the conversation to a human agent.

5. Response Display

  • All responses from the AI or escalation messages are output to the chat interface using the ChatOutput node, ensuring a smooth and interactive user experience.
