INTERMEDIATE:
- Remember preferences
- Adjust based on history
- Segment-specific messages

ADVANCED:
- Predictive responses
- Proactive outreach
- Contextual recommendations

Implementation:

javascript

async function personalizeResponse(phone, baseMessage) {
    const customer = await getCustomerProfile(phone);
    
    let message = baseMessage;
    
    // Name personalization
    message = message.replace('[NAME]', customer.name || 'Kak');
    
    // History-based
    if (customer.lastOrder) {
        message += `\n\nBtw, gimana ${customer.lastOrder.product}nya?`;
    }
    
    // VIP treatment
    if (customer.tier === 'vip') {
        message = '⭐ ' + message;
        message += '\n\nSebagai VIP, kakak dapat priority support!';
    }
    
    return message;
}

5. Escalation

🔄 ESCALATION TRIGGERS:

AUTO-ESCALATE WHEN:
- Customer asks for human 2x
- Angry/frustrated keywords detected
- Complex query bot can't handle
- Sensitive topics (legal, medical)
- VIP customers with issues
- Query > 3 back-and-forth without resolution

ESCALATION RESPONSE:
"Untuk membantu lebih baik, saya 
hubungkan dengan tim kami ya!

Admin akan respond dalam 5 menit.
Mohon tunggu sebentar 🙏"

Smooth Handover:

javascript

async function escalateToHuman(phone, context) {
    // Notify customer
    await sendMessage(phone, getEscalationMessage());
    
    // Create ticket with full context
    const ticket = await db.tickets.insert({
        phone,
        context: {
            conversation: await getConversationHistory(phone),
            customerProfile: await getCustomerProfile(phone),
            issue: context.issue,
            sentiment: context.sentiment
        },
        priority: calculatePriority(context),
        createdAt: new Date()
    });
    
    // Alert available agents
    await alertAgents(ticket);
    
    // Set SLA timer
    await setSLATimer(ticket, 5 * 60 * 1000); // 5 minutes
}

6. Error Handling

🚫 ERROR HANDLING:

UNRECOGNIZED INPUT:
"Maaf, aku belum paham maksudnya 😅

Coba ketik:
- MENU untuk lihat pilihan
- ADMIN untuk bicara dengan tim

Atau jelaskan lagi dengan kata lain?"

SYSTEM ERROR:
"Oops, ada kendala teknis! 🙏

Coba lagi dalam beberapa menit.
Atau langsung hubungi:
📞 021-XXX-XXXX

Maaf atas ketidaknyamanannya!"

TIMEOUT/NO RESPONSE:
[After 30 min idle]
"Hai! Masih butuh bantuan?

Kalau sudah selesai, terima kasih
sudah menghubungi kami! 💕

Chat kapan saja kalau butuh bantuan."

7. Business Hours

⏰ JAM KERJA HANDLING:

OFFICE HOURS (08:00-17:00):
- Full bot + human support
- Fast escalation available

AFTER HOURS:
- Bot-only support
- Set expectation clearly
- Capture info for follow-up
