Documentation on handling escalation failures (Failed To Handover).

Whenever Dialog flow Application in unable to handle a case it escalates the case and transfer's it to a Salesforce LiveAgent. This escalation process involves communication between multiple apps/modules and hence it is prone to failures. We have added some log point in our RocketChat application to catch and log those failures under a common log message Failed To Handover.

Cases when escalation may fail.

Since escalation involves a lot of steps and communication between multiple apps/modules, there can be number of failures that may happen, Some of them are being tracked under log points and are documented below.
