Connector Actions Nodes
Connector action nodes connect the workflow to external systems and channels such as email and phone. They require a connector to be configured at the tenant level before they will work.
Connector Action nodes are available in Escalation Workflows only. They are not available in Pre-Chat Workflows.
All connector action nodes have an On Error handle. This handle fires when the action cannot be completed, for example when no agents are available for a transfer, when an email connector fails, or when a phone number cannot be resolved. Always connect the On Error handle to a recovery path so the customer receives a clear message rather than a silent failure. For more information, see Handling Error Scenarios.
Chat Transfer
The Chat Transfer node transfers the customer's conversation to a human agent or department. When it executes successfully, the workflow ends and the chat is handed over. There is no next step after a successful transfer.

Description |
|
Escalation Message |
Required. The message displayed to the customer during the transfer (for example, "Transferring you to a billing specialist..."). |
Send Email
The Send Email node sends an email as part of the workflow — for example, a support-ticket confirmation to the customer, or a notification to an internal team that an escalation has been logged.
Unlike Chat Transfer and Send to AI Agent, a successful Send Email does not end the workflow. The flow continues to the next connected node after the email is sent. This makes it useful mid-flow: send a confirmation, then continue gathering information, then hand off or transfer.

Escalation Message |
Required. The in-chat message shown to the customer when the email is sent (for example, "We've notified the team and will follow up shortly."). |
Trigger Call
The Trigger Call node displays a phone number in the chat window as a guided outcome — for example, routing by region or account type before revealing which team's number to call. Like Send Email, a successful Trigger Call does not end the workflow; the flow continues after the number is shown.
On mobile devices, the number renders as a tappable link. On desktop, it is displayed as text for the customer to note or dial manually.
