PURPOSE
Emplifi Bot is an AI-driven conversational automation platform that handles customer interactions across websites, branded apps, and social messaging channels without requiring human agents for every exchange. It provides consistent, scalable automated responses drawn from your authored content — and escalates to live agents when a conversation exceeds its automated scope.
KEY CAPABILITIES
Multi-channel deployment
Deploy bots on websites, branded mobile apps, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram Direct, and other messaging platforms from a single platform.
Knowledge-base-driven responses
Bot pulls answers from your authored content (articles, FAQs, knowledge bases) to respond accurately to customer questions. Responses are generated based on the content you configure, not generic AI training data.
Proactive notifications
Configure Bot to proactively send messages to customers on their preferred channels — for example, shipping updates, appointment reminders, or promotional messages.
Agent escalation
When a customer's request exceeds what the bot can handle — or when the customer explicitly asks for a human — Bot seamlessly hands the conversation to a live agent in Community or Care, with the full conversation history transferred so the agent has context.
ESCALATION BEHAVIOR
Bot can escalate to a human agent in two ways:
- Automatically: based on configurable rules (e.g., sentiment threshold, keyword trigger, unresolvable intent after X attempts)
- On customer request: when the customer uses a phrase like "speak to an agent" or "I want a human"
After escalation, the conversation appears in Community or Care and is handled by the assigned agent. Customers experience a continuous conversation without needing to repeat themselves.
PERFORMANCE MONITORING
Bot performance is tracked through dedicated analytics:
- In Bot Analytics (within the Bot module itself)
- In Unified Analytics → Bot module (for platform-wide reporting alongside other Emplifi data)
Key metrics: conversation volume, containment rate (% resolved by bot without escalation), escalation rate, resolution rate, customer satisfaction.
