How to use this document

  • Use it to define when and how a person served by a chatbot, voice assistant, AI agent or automated response system is transferred to a person, and how that transfer is measured and logged.
  • Suggested owner: the head of customer service, with operations and product as co-owners; legal reviews.
  • Before adopting it, decide: which channels use automation, during which hours people are available, which waiting-time targets you set (the fields in section 5) and which topics are always escalated.
  • Complete the bracketed fields, especially keywords, times, crisis line numbers and owners.
  • If you serve consumers in Spain and fall within the scope of Law 10/2025, the adaptation period ends on the date set by its transitional provision (see Related regulatory references): prioritize sections 3, 5 and 6.
  • Keep in "Country variants" only the jurisdictions where you serve customers.
  • Ask internal legal or an outside advisor to confirm the scope and the times that apply to your sector, especially in financial services, utilities and telecommunications.
  • Approve the protocol, configure the channels, train staff and start measuring the indicators in section 10 from day one.

Human Escalation Protocol for Customer Service

1. Purpose and scope

[ORGANIZATION NAME] adopts this protocol so that anyone served through an automated channel can be transferred to a person easily, quickly and without losing what has already been discussed.

It applies to all customer, user and consumer service channels that use automated or AI systems: web and app chat, messaging, voice assistants and automated phone systems, email with automatic replies, and AI agents that handle requests.

Channels covered: [COMPLETE].

2. Definitions

  • Automated channel: a channel where an automated or AI system responds, with no real-time human involvement.
  • Human agent: a person on the team of [ORGANIZATION NAME] or of a contracted service provider who responds in real time.
  • Escalation: the decision to move the conversation from the automated channel to a human agent.
  • Handoff: the moment the human agent takes over the conversation, with the context of what has been discussed.
  • Time to human service: the time from when the person asks for, or the system decides on, escalation until the human agent first responds.
