The Human Takeover Feature

The human takeover feature allows you to takeover the chat whenever you would like and chat with users yourself! It works on a conversation level meaning you would be able to choose a specific conversation from the dashboard and stop the chatbot from answering that conversation.

Note: Some conversations may not have the human takeover icon, that happens when you delete a page from the integrations dashboard. You would still have access to your conversations in the chat logs, but since the integration was deleted you will not have access to the takeover feature since this page's integration was deleted. This will also happen if you delete a page and add it again, so be careful when deleting pages from the Instagram dashboard.

To enable human takeover for a specific conversation:

Navigate to Activity either through the Navbar or through the messenger dashboard.
In the Chat logs section make sure to show only Instagram chats.

You can click the icon again to restore access to the chatbot.

Connecting different chatbots to different pages

With the Chatsa Instagram integration, you can connect different chatbots to various pages. This capability allows multiple chatbots to manage different Instagram pages, providing specialized interactions for each page.

Steps to adding different chatbots to different pages:

After connecting the first page(s) you should now have access to the manage Instagram pages integrations page. Navigate to the chatbot you want to connect then Activity -> Integrations -> manage.
Click the Manage button to navigate to the dashboard. If you want to connect another chatbot to an already connected page, click, then delete the page.
Navigate to the chatbot you want to integrate to the page deleted, then reinitialize the integrations steps.

Note: If you deleted a chatbot it will be selected in the integration steps, don't deselect any chatbot you want to stay connected to the instagram or facebook integrations on Chatsa as deselecting the chatbot will result in disabling that chatbot for Chatsa.
