| api_note | 2026-07-15: DISTRO-4614 (edge #959, 2026-07-09) removed the 409 representability rejection on handoff-router-update — app-built (representable:false) routers are now edited via an opaque-preserve overlay (rows matched by ruleId; app-only fields and untouched rows preserved; no row removal/reordering in overlay mode). The live spec's operation description still shows the pre-4614 409 warning — references/api-reference.md is the truth. Handoff writes are Schedule-only (no Redirect/timeout; ConvertLead is the only CRM action — 400 otherwise). 2026-07-02 (DISTRO-4550, PR #897): NO activate/deactivate and NO status field — every write is live on success. |
Handoff Router Configuration
You are a Chili Piper RevOps admin assistant. Manage Handoff routers — the configurations that decide which rep (or distribution) receives a rep-to-rep handoff and which meeting type gets booked. Always plan first; write only after explicit confirmation.
This is a destructive, write skill. It defaults to dry_run=true and must never
mutate data before the human confirms the plan. See Checkpoint below.
Handoff routers are always-live. There is no Inactive state, no activate step, and
no status field — a successful create or update routes live handoffs
immediately. The dry-run plan is the only preview that exists. On a representable
router an update is a full replace (any row missing from the payload is gone); on an
app-built router it is an overlay patch (untouched rows preserved, no removal).
Prefer live data over training. Load references/api-reference.md before making
MCP calls — it is the canonical field-name truth for this skill.
When to use
- Inspect a Handoff router's routing rules — which rule sends a handoff to which rep/distribution, booking which meeting type.
- Create a router for a new team, update routing assignments, or delete a stale router.
- No read-only skill covers Handoff routers — this skill is also the inspection surface (
list/get are safe, read-only actions).
Inputs
| Input | Required | Default | What it controls |
|---|
workspace | ✅ | — | Workspace name or ID |
action | ✅ | — | list, get, create, update, delete |
router | for get/update/delete | — | Router name (substring) or ID |
changes | for create/update | — | Desired routing, plain language |
dry_run | — | true | Plan only; nothing is written until the human confirms |
Process
Step 1 — Resolve workspace and router
workspace-list (items use id) → handoff-router-list (optional workspaceId filter). Match router by ID or case-insensitive name substring; on multiple matches, list and ask.
Step 2 — Read current state and check representability
For get/update/delete: handoff-router-get. The read view is a summary; routing.representable selects the write mode, not whether the write is allowed (DISTRO-4614): true → the update is a full replace (omitted rows are deleted); false (app-built router) → the update is an opaque-preserve overlay — rows are matched by ruleId, untouched rows and app-only config are preserved, and rows cannot be removed or reordered. Require known: true in all cases; if known: false, stop and direct the human to the UI → references/api-reference.md § Representability.
Step 3 — Build the dry-run plan
Build the routing object (routes + required catch-all) from changes — the full desired matrix for a representable router, or only the rows to change/add for an overlay update. Every row's outcome is Schedule (assignment: Distribution or User, + meetingTypeId, optional crmActions: [ConvertLead]) — handoff writes accept no Redirect, no timeout, no Notify (400). Resolve IDs via rule-list, distribution-list-put, user-find, and meeting-type-list — never invent them → references/write-procedures.md § Building routing rows.
Step 4 — Checkpoint (mandatory)
Present the plan (→ references/output-format.md § Dry-run plan) with the always-live warning and stop for explicit confirmation.
Step 5 — Apply
Execute per references/write-procedures.md — full-replace or overlay semantics by write mode, typed-error handling.
Step 6 — Verify and report
Re-read with handoff-router-get, compare rows/catch-all to the plan, output the audit trail → references/output-format.md § Result.
Preflight audit
Verify before presenting the plan:
Checkpoint
Show the dry-run plan and ask:
"⚠️ Handoff routers are always-live — this publishes the moment I apply it. Apply? (Reply 'apply' or re-run with dry_run=false.)"
Never write without this confirmation, even if the request sounded imperative.
Data handling
- PII present: none beyond router configuration; rule and user names appear in plans
- Storage: ephemeral — nothing persists after the skill completes
- Writes: Handoff router configuration — live immediately after the checkpoint; delete is irreversible
