Reply from the Dashboard (V1)

Take over an escalated conversation and reply to the visitor without leaving InsiteChat — works for the web widget, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
  • New composer in the Human Support dashboard ships replies back over the originating channel
  • Web widget polls every 4s for new agent messages and renders them with a green accent + “A human has joined the chat” system bubble (one-time)
  • WhatsApp + Telegram dispatch reuses the existing _send_text / _send_message helpers — replies arrive in seconds
  • New Message.Role.AGENT role + sent_by_user_id FK for full attribution; agent replies do not count against your monthly LLM message quota
  • WhatsApp 24-hour reply window is enforced with a structured 422 error so you see the failure inline
  • “Hand back to AI” button + live mute countdown chip in the dashboard

Smart Handoff Intent Detection

Visitors don’t always say “talk to a human” verbatim — now they don’t have to.
  • Multilingual: non-ASCII messages (Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, etc.) skip the keyword pre-filter and go straight to the LLM
  • LLM classifier: Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite picks up frustration, implicit asks, and ambiguous phrasing
  • SHA-256 cached so repeated phrases cost nothing
  • Atomic per-conversation rate-limiting prevents spam from blowing up classifier costs
  • Powers handoff on both WhatsApp and Telegram (Scale + Enterprise)

Unified AI Mute (Rolling 24h)

Replaces the old WhatsApp-only wa_paused:* Redis key with a unified agent_handling:{conv_id} key that works across web, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
  • Mute is rolling — every agent reply refreshes the 24h timer
  • Auto-resumes the AI if the agent stops replying for 24h
  • Cleared instantly on Mark resolved or Hand back to AI

Unified Escalation Webhook

The conversation.escalated event now fires for every channel (was web-only), with one new field:
  • channel — inferred from the session_id prefix: web / whatsapp / telegram / unknown
Existing webhook handlers continue to work; new ones can route on data.channel.
