# How to handoff conversations to Zendesk Chat (Classic) ?

In a chat conversation you can escalate to Zendesk Chat agents by connecting the conversation from the chatbot to Zendesk Classic Chat widget.

In order to achieve this you will drag the **Zendesk Chat Widget Handover** add on and connect to the flow. For initiating the handover you will need the **name** and **email** of the customer. An example flow with the configuration is shown below.

### Widget Configuration

To support the seamless handoff we will need to add some minor configurations in our trigger function. Here is an example trigger function.

```
addScript("https://static.zdassets.com/ekr/snippet.js?key=4c9db6e3-9bc0-4d01-9207-438668af2578", 'ze-snippet', 'window.zE(\'webWidget\', \'hide\');'); 
window.zESettings = { cookies: true }; 

/** Emit event botWidgetInit to initialize**/ 
document.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("botWidgetInit", {"detail": {zendeskClassicChatEnabled: true}}));

```
