Queue admins can give Service AI specific instructions for routing requests to their queue. This includes when to escalate to a team member, how to communicate with requesters, and how to interpret the types of issues your queue handles.

How to configure AI routing guidance

Routing guidance is set up inside your queue's settings. 

  1. Navigate to the queue you want to configure.
  2. Click Settings.
  3. Click Routing guidance.
  4. Write your instructions in each field in plain language.
  5. Click Save.

Service AI will apply your routing guidance to each request and determine the appropriate response or next step.

Adding your routing guidance

You can provide instructions across three areas: routing context, escalation behavior, and additional guidance around tone, response style, and anything else specific to your queue. 

Routing context

Use this to describe what your queue is for, so Service AI can correctly route tickets to the correct queue. A clear queue description helps Service AI distinguish between queues and direct tickets accurately.

Escalation behavior

Use this to tell Service AI when it should hand a ticket off to a team member, even if a matching knowledge base article exists. Without explicit escalation rules, Service AI may attempt to deflect tickets it could technically answer but that your team would prefer to handle directly.

Additional guidance

Use this to add any additional guidance for Service AI such as conversation tone, length of response, formatting, or how to ask clarifying questions. 

Tips for writing effective guidance

The more specific your instructions, the more reliably Service AI can act on them. A broad escalation rule like "always escalate sensitive topics" leaves room for interpretation; naming the exact categories you want escalated removes that ambiguity. 

Periodically review and refine your instructions based on what you observe. Your guidance will work best when it is updated as your team workflows evolve.
