Escalation & review
When the AI escalates vs sends, and how to handle pending review.
PingTeo gives you control: some replies are sent automatically, others are held for review, and sensitive topics are escalated to you.
Automatic send
When auto-send is on and the AI is confident:
- The reply is sent to the guest without your action.
- You can still see it in Messages and edit future behavior via config.
Pending review
A reply is pending review when:
- The AI’s confidence is below the threshold, or
- You’ve turned on “Review before send” (or equivalent) for that property.
In Messages, open the conversation and you’ll see the suggested reply. You can approve (send as-is), edit then send, or discard and reply yourself.
Escalation
For certain intents, the AI does not send a reply. It notifies you so you can handle the conversation yourself. Typical escalated intents:
- Refund / cancellation — Money or booking cancellation.
- Complaint / issue — Problem with the stay or property.
- Booking modification — Date change, extra guests, etc.
You configure which intents to escalate in AI Config → Escalation (or similar). Escalated messages appear in Messages and you may get an email notification.
Where to see status
- Messages — Filter or badges for “Pending review” and “Escalated”; open the thread to approve, edit, or reply.
- Analytics — Counts of AI-sent, review, and escalated messages so you can tune confidence and escalation rules.
