Automatic Assignment: The chatbot triggers the "Assign Agent" action, randomly assigning the inquiry to an available agent or directing it to a designated expert based on predefined criteria.
Agent Response: The assigned agent promptly engages with the customer, addressing their query and providing timely assistance, thus ensuring a positive customer experience.
