Offline and away messages

Away messages explain that the AI Agent can still help or that a human will reply later. Honest timing reduces duplicate contacts and bad reviews.

Align away copy with your business hours and holiday calendar.

What to include

  • When humans usually reply
  • What the AI can still do immediately
  • Alternative contact options if urgent

Seasonal updates

Update away messages before Black Friday, launches, or warehouse closures. The AI can reference the same dates if you add them to Knowledge.
