The Agent Chat Console is an interface for agents to handle multiple inbound requests for users who want to speak to an agent. When a user is chatting with Luma and has a question that is better answered by a person, the user can enter "transfer to agent" and immediately be added to a queue to talk to a person. It can be launched by authenticating the user's email address or Unique User Identification (UUID) such as an alternative email address.

If there are duplicate email IDs, then the agent chat console window opens but does not connect to the agent. |

- Users Panel: The left panel shows the list of users. These users are either waiting to chat with an agent or are in an active conversation with the logged in agent. Key information is shown for each user in the list including their name, username, chat channel, group they requested during the transfer request and time in queue.
- Selected Conversation: The right panel shows the selected user's conversation. The gray messages on the left are from the end user, the orange messages on the right are from the bot and the blue messages on the right are from an agent. These blue messages could be from the current logged in agent or a previous agent chat conversation. Scrolling up shows the user's entire history of conversations conversations through Luma with date and time. This allows the agent to gather context on the user's current request to better serve them. The bottom of the right panel has the chat text box for sending the message as well as three buttons. The text box expands to a maximum of 3 rows instead of the text scrolling horizontally as you type.
- Agent Transfer- Transfer the chat conversation to another group. This is used when the user's request is best handled by a different group.
- Create Ticket - Create a ticket in the connected ITSM system.
- End Chat - Ends the chat conversation and the user will be sent back to chatting with the bot.
