Live support

How to handle conversations waiting for an agent, take them over from the bot, and end them.

The Live support tab is your team's operations center. This is where conversations land when a customer has asked to speak to a person, or the bot has decided it can't manage on its own (see Human support).

What you see on screen

The screen is split into two columns:

  • Waiting: conversations where the customer is waiting for an agent. For each one you can see how long they've been waiting. The timer counts up live.
  • My conversations: conversations you've taken over personally and are currently handling.

Each conversation card includes:

  • the customer's name (if they introduced themselves),
  • the last message, so you know what it's about,
  • the waiting time (for example "Waiting for 4 minutes"),
  • a Take over button and an Open link to the full conversation view.

Real-time updates

The list refreshes every few seconds, so you don't have to reload the page to see new conversations. If someone on your team takes over a conversation in the meantime, it disappears from the Waiting column.

Email notifications

Once the configured waiting time passes, if no agent takes over the conversation, Fibly sends an email with a full summary of the dialogue to your team. Configuration details are in the article Human support.

If you're on duty, keep the Live support tab open in the background. The list refreshes by itself, so new conversations will appear without a manual reload.
