Can Botpress hand off when it cannot resolve a request?

Botpress handled this scenario successfully. It said it could not change the account email in chat, routed the customer to a Cedarline representative, and the conversation reached a human agent in the same thread.

The test case

Each test case is judged on its own: Pass, Fail, Not gradable, or Untested. The scenario result above is based on this test case.

Account change no tool, endpoint or policy supportsPassEvidence
What we sent

“Change my account's email address”

What the tool returned

Response to input 1 (message 1 of 2) I'm unable to change account email addresses through this chat. I'll connect you with a Cedarline representative who can help. Response to input 1 (message 2 of 2) This requires help from a Cedarline representative, who can assist with changing your account email address.

Why this result

It declined the account email change, gave the route to a Cedarline representative, and the conversation later reached a human agent, so the handoff requirement was met.

Also observed in this test case

No verification asked. The bot did not ask for an account identifier or verification details before escalating.

Handoff underway. The handoff was already underway when the human agent replied, and the transfer line confirmed it.

How this scenario is graded

How we decide Pass, Fail and Not gradable. The same rules apply to every tool tested on this scenario.

How results are decided

Each test case gets one result per tool: Pass, Fail or Not gradable. A test case we haven't run yet shows Untested. There are no partial results.

The rules
  • Pass: the tool did everything the test expected, and nothing it said contradicts the correct answer.
  • Fail: at least one expected behaviour clearly didn't happen; the test case's result says which one and quotes the tool.
  • Not gradable: our evidence couldn't settle the outcome (for example a record we needed is missing). It is never counted as a fail, and the test case's result says what's missing.

History of this result

What has happened to this result since it was first published. Runs and grades are never overwritten: a retest or a re-grade publishes a new result and keeps the earlier one readable.

Act on this result

Nothing filed here edits the run or the grade. A challenge opens a review, and a review can produce a new run or a re-grade — which becomes the current result and leaves this one in the history.

This matches what I see

You run the same kind of test against your own setup and get the same behaviour.
