- Positive Feedback Prompt: the “that answered my question” button text.
- Request Human Support Prompt: the “connect me to an agent” button text.
- Human Support Confirmation Message: what the visitor sees once escalated.
- Show escalation buttons after responses and Replace other suggestions with escalation buttons control when the buttons appear.

Set up notifications
- Enable Escalation Notifications emails the addresses you list every time a conversation escalates.
- Enable New Conversation Notifications does the same for every new conversation, if you want full visibility.
Replying as a human
Escalated conversations are marked in Chat History. Open one and reply directly; the visitor sees your message in the widget in real time, and the AI stays quiet while the conversation is in agent mode. You can also handle escalations in the tools your team already uses:- Slack, Crisp, Zendesk, Freshdesk, Google Chat, Messenger, and Zoho SalesIQ.
- Your own systems, via the Escalation webhook: SiteGPT posts a
CONVERSATION_ESCALATEDevent with a dashboard link the moment a visitor escalates. See Webhooks.
How visitors escalate
- By clicking the escalation button after an answer.
- By asking: messages like “talk to a human” trigger the escalation flow.
- Automatically on lead capture, if you enabled Auto-escalate on lead capture in lead collection.
