⚡ 1-Minute Summary In Salesforce Agentforce, transferring a user from an AI agent to a human is not a failure—it is a carefully designed transition path. Proper escalation requires routing the user via Omni-Channel to a live representative while passing the complete conversation transcript and context variables .

By treating escalation as a dedicated subagent rather than a generic error fallback, you guarantee a high-quality handoff exactly when the customer's stakes are highest. 💬 In plain words: Escalation is not an error state; it's a premium feature.

On a phone call, a 3-second delay is dead air that makes the customer think the line dropped.
