About this article
In Cloud Chat, ClaudIA is assigned to each conversation through an automation called [Cloud Humans] Trigger for Assignment. This automation assigns tickets to the AI. To turn off ClaudIA, simply deactivate this automation; to turn it on again, just re-enable it.
This article is specific for users who operate ClaudIA within Cloud Chat. If your operation runs on an external helpdesk (Zendesk, Intercom, etc.), the control to turn on/off is handled differently — see the articles in Notes.
How to turn off ClaudIA

Step 2 — Find the assignment automation and disable it
In the list of automations, locate [Cloud Humans] Trigger for Assignment.

Step 3 — Disable the automation
