Best practices
Start with one workflowUse clean, approved knowledgeKeep instructions simple at firstTest both common and edge casesConfigure fallback before launchUse human handoff for sensitive requestsReview analytics after activationImprove knowledge based on unanswered questions
Common mistakes
| Mistake | Why it hurts | Better approach |
|---|---|---|
| Adding too much messy content | The agent may retrieve weak or conflicting answers. | Start with clean, approved sources. |
| Skipping fallback setup | Users may get poor answers or dead ends. | Configure fallback and handoff before launch. |
| Launching across every channel at once | Harder to monitor and improve. | Start with one channel. |
| Not assigning an owner | Handoffs may be ignored. | Assign a workflow owner. |
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible cause | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Agent gives incomplete answers | Missing or weak knowledge source | Review connected documents and FAQs |
| Agent answers when it should hand off | Handoff rule not configured | Check fallback and escalation settings |
| Agent tone feels wrong | Instructions are too broad | Update tone and response guidance |
| Agent cannot answer common questions | Content is missing or not connected | Add or clean the knowledge source |
