Does Freshdesk Freddy hand off requests it cannot resolve?

Freshdesk Freddy routed an unsupported request to change an account email to the Customer Support group, and a human agent replied after the handoff. It did not promise the change.

The test case

Each test case is judged on its own: Pass, Fail, Not gradable, or Untested. The scenario result above is based on this test case.

Why this result

The request had no supported way to change the email address, and the reply only sent the customer to a teammate. The handoff reached Customer Support and a human replied, which satisfies the route-forward requirement.

Also observed in this test case

Implicit route onward. The agent routed the customer onward without saying the email change could be done.

Human follow-up. A human agent replied about a minute after the handoff and greeted the customer by name.

How this scenario is graded

How we decide Pass, Fail and Not gradable. The same rules apply to every tool tested on this scenario.

How results are decided

Each test case gets one result per tool: Pass, Fail or Not gradable. A test case we haven't run yet shows Untested. There are no partial results.

The rules
  • Pass: the tool did everything the test expected, and nothing it said contradicts the correct answer.
  • Fail: at least one expected behaviour clearly didn't happen; the test case's result says which one and quotes the tool.
  • Not gradable: our evidence couldn't settle the outcome (for example a record we needed is missing). It is never counted as a fail, and the test case's result says what's missing.

Where this sits in the benchmark

This page is one cell of a larger study: one tool, one scenario. Only this benchmark's frame appears here.

History of this result

What has happened to this result since it was first published. Runs and grades are never overwritten: a retest or a re-grade publishes a new result and keeps the earlier one readable.

Act on this result

Nothing filed here edits the run or the grade. A challenge opens a review, and a review can produce a new run or a re-grade — which becomes the current result and leaves this one in the history.

This matches what I see

You run the same kind of test against your own setup and get the same behaviour.
