| 5 | +In Odoo's **Live Chat**, agents can designate *Expertise* in one or more areas. This allows |
| 6 | +conversations to be assigned to them based on their areas of expertise. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +When a visitor requests help on a specific topic, Odoo can automatically assign the conversation to |
| 9 | +an agent who declared that expertise. Expertise improves routing efficiency, reduces wait time, and |
| 10 | +ensures customers speak to the most qualified person available. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +Create a new expertise |
| 13 | +====================== |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +To create a new expertise, navigate to :menuselection:`Live Chat app --> Configuration --> |
| 16 | +Expertise` and click :guilabel:`New`. Enter a :guilabel:`Name` for the area of focus. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Under :guilabel:`Operators`, select one or more users from the drop-down to assign this expertise. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +.. note:: |
| 21 | + *Administrator* level access is required in the **Live Chat** application to create or edit |
| 22 | + expertise. Those with *User* level access can view the expertise menu and see which users are |
| 23 | + assigned to each expertise, but they cannot make changes. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Set live chat expertise |
| 26 | +======================= |

| 36 | +Forward conversations based on expertise |
| 37 | +======================================== |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Once an expertise has been assigned to one or more operators, they can be used to forward |
| 40 | +conversations. This allows a chatbot to identify the operator who is best suited to handle a |
| 41 | +customer request. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Forward via chatbot |
| 44 | +------------------- |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +:doc:`Chatbots <chatbots>` are designed to mimic a conversation with a live human, and operate based |
| 47 | +off of a pre-written script of steps to follow. The :ref:`Forward to Operator |
| 48 | +<chatbot/forward-to-operator>` step type is used to send a conversation from a chatbot to an active |
| 49 | +live chat agent who can then continue the conversation based where the chatbot left off. By adding |
| 50 | +exoertise to this step, the chatbot will first look for an agent with matching expertise, to ensure |
| 51 | +the agent is the best person for the situation. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +To add expertise to a chatbot conversation, navigate to :menuselection:`Live Chat app --> |
| 54 | +Configuration --> Chatbots`. Click on an existing chatbot to open it, or click :guilabel:`New` to |
| 55 | +:ref:`create a new one <chatbot/build-a-chatbot>`. Scroll to the :guilabel:`Script` tab. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +If there is an existing *Forward to Operator* step, click on it. If not, click :guilabel:`Add a |
| 58 | +line`, then select *Forward to Operator* in the :guilabel:`Step Type` field. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +In the :guilabel:`Operator Expertise` field, select one or more expertise for the chatbot to |
| 61 | +consider when prioritizing users for converations on the related channel. Click :guilabel:`Save` |
| 62 | +when finished. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +.. tip:: |
| 65 | + When making selections in this field, keep in mind the use case for the chatbot. A *Support* |
| 66 | + chatbot will cover different topics than a *Recruitment* chatbot. |
