What is a switchboard?
Switchboard refers to an advanced and intelligent message routing system that utilizes technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) and automation to efficiently manage and direct incoming customer inquiries. Switchboard’s goal is to enhance the overall customer experience by ensuring that messages are directed to the most appropriate department or agent. Like Sunshine Conversations’ Switchboard API enables the seamless transition from bots to human agents across messaging channels and business systems.
