Type: Customer Service AI Agent for Salesforce · Category: Customer service · Status: Coming soon · Works with your team

The Escalation Summary Agent gives a human agent a short, accurate briefing the moment a chat or case is handed over from an AI agent or another team. It summarizes the history, the customer's sentiment, what has been tried and a suggested next step, and saves it on the Case.

Outcome: Customers never have to repeat themselves after a handoff.

- Works with: Tier 2 support agents, team leads and supervisors
- Where: Service Console (Lightning). Triggered by an escalation Flow. Optional Slack post.
- Runs on: Service Cloud, Messaging (for transcripts), Agentforce
- Best fit: Cross-industry

A typical fit: A SaaS support team where Tier 1 escalates to Tier 2.

## How it works

- **Summarize handoff.** Create the structured five item summary when a case is escalated.
- **Answer questions about this case.** Let the human agent ask follow-up questions in plain language.

## The rules it follows

- The agent writes internal notes only. It never contacts the customer and never changes Status or owner.
- Mask card numbers, passwords and government identifiers in the summary and in any answer.
- Never state a cause or promise that is not in the record. Use Not stated instead.
- If the history exceeds 50 items, summarize the latest 50 and say so.
- Sentiment is chosen from the fixed list and based only on the customer's own words.

## What we need from you

- Service Cloud with Messaging if chat transcripts are included.
- Your escalation triggers and queue names.

## Not included

- Replying to the customer or changing case ownership.
- Sentiment trend dashboards beyond one report.
- Summaries for non-Case objects such as Opportunities.
