A Service Cloud Consultant is configuring an "Order Inquiries" topic for an Agentforce Service Agent. The business requires that if a package is reported lost, the AI agent must immediately escalate the conversation to a service rep.
How should the consultant achieve this?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
In Agentforce for Service, consultants can define custom instructions within a topic to control the AI agent's behavior dynamically. By adding a clear instruction in the "Order Inquiries" topic - for example, "If the customer mentions a lost or missing package, escalate the conversation to a live agent immediately" - the AI agent can automatically trigger an escalation action or handoff to a service rep.
This approach leverages topic-specific natural language understanding rather than external routing logic.
Option B is incorrect because the Employee Agent Escalation topic applies to internal employee assistance, not customer-facing AI interactions.
Option C (skills-based routing) controls assignment after escalation but doesn't trigger the escalation event itself.
