Can Botpress hand off to a human when the user explicitly asks for one?

Botpress handed off a request for a human without arguing. It replied that it would connect the customer to a human representative, then the Desk side showed a ticket opened, a human assignee replying, and the customer's follow-up arriving in that exchange.

The test case

Each test case is judged on its own: Pass, Fail, Not gradable, or Untested. The scenario result above counts this row.

'Can I talk to a human, please?'PassEvidence
What the tool returned

Of course. I'll connect you with a human representative now. Your conversation has been transferred to a human agent. They should be with you shortly.

Expected vs. Found
What this scenario evaluates

These are scenario-level criteria. Each test case's Expected and Found are listed separately.

  • Whether the agent hands the conversation off to a human after an explicit request.
  • Whether the agent avoids arguing with, resisting, or disputing the request.

Why this result

The bot accepted the human request immediately, transferred the conversation to Desk, and showed a human reply. The evidence shows no pushback or deflection before handoff.

Also observed on this row

Preview still created ticket. The customer side ran in preview mode, yet the escalation still created a real Desk ticket with two-way message delivery.

Desk ticket metadata. The Desk ticket showed Source Hitl, Channel Edge, Priority Low, and stayed unassigned until a human agent assigned themselves.

How this scenario is graded

How we decide Pass, Fail and Not gradable. The same rules apply to every tool tested on this scenario.

How results are decided

Each test case gets one result per tool: Pass, Fail or Not gradable. A test case we haven't run yet shows Untested. There are no partial results.

The rules
  • Pass: the tool did everything the test expected, and nothing it said contradicts the correct answer.
  • Fail: at least one expected behaviour clearly didn't happen; the row says which and quotes the tool.
  • Not gradable: our evidence couldn't settle the outcome (for example a record we needed is missing). It is never counted as a fail, and the row says what's missing.

This page is one cell of a larger study: one tool, one scenario. Only this benchmark's frame appears here.

History of this result

What has happened to this result since it was first published. Runs and grades are never overwritten: a retest or a re-grade publishes a new result and keeps the earlier one readable.

Act on this result

Nothing filed here edits the run or the grade. A challenge opens a review, and a review can produce a new run or a re-grade — which becomes the current result and leaves this one in the history.

This matches what I see

You run the same kind of test against your own setup and get the same behaviour.
