When Ella raises a hand

What it means when Ella escalates an item, the usual reasons, and what to do about each.

2 min read
Ella escalates when the crew cannot finish safely on its own. An escalation is a question for you, not an error.
1

A cross-check failed

An agent's result does not match your system of record. Ella shows both values. Decide which is right, correct the source if needed, and the item continues.

2

Information is missing

The agents could not find something they need, such as a contact, a rate or a document. Supply it, or tell Ella who to ask, and she re-runs the step.

3

A connection is not responding

A linked system is unavailable or a permission has changed. Ella pauses the items that depend on it and continues the rest. Ask your admin to check the connection.

4

The decision is above the agents' remit

Some choices are always yours, such as a commitment to a customer or a change to a safety action. Ella prepares the options and waits.
