AI fallback responses

AI Reply blocks require fallback text and can use a fallback provider, helping the conversation continue safely when a generation request cannot complete.

The problem

Why this safeguard is needed

AI providers can time out, reject a request, or become temporarily unavailable. Without a safe fallback, the customer may receive no answer or the automation may stop at the moment help is expected.

What this safeguard helps protect

  • Conversation continuity during provider errors
  • Customers from receiving an empty response
  • Your team from relying on one generation path

How it works in Flozari

    Flozari attempts the configured AI response.

  2. 2

    If the primary generation path fails, the configured fallback path can run.

  3. 3

    Reviewed fallback text is available as the final safe response.

Good operating practices

  • Write fallback text that is useful without making unsupported claims.
  • Include a clear human-support next step.
  • Test fallbacks whenever AI instructions change.

Keep human responsibility in the loop

This control supports safer operations but does not guarantee Meta-policy or legal compliance. Your team remains responsible for consent, content, audience selection, review, and applicable requirements.

Use this safeguard as part of a responsible workflow.
