End a conversation flow branch

When the virtual service agent recognizes an intent in a customer’s message, it asks them to confirm that the intent is the correct one and then starts the conversation flow for that intent. Read more about intents, or about building conversation flows.

Flows can split off into multiple branches depending on how the customer responds to the virtual service agent. Each branch can serve a different purpose or move the customer to a specific resolution.

Every conversation flow branch needs to end in one of two ways:

• by starting the escalate standard flow, which creates an issue in Jira Service Management for a human agent to work on

• by starting the resolve with CSAT standard flow, which marks the conversation as resolved and asks the customer for a satisfaction rating
