Explanation of Change

When a Concierge message contains humanAgentAccountID in its message JSON (set by an agent using "Reply as yourself" in the Concierge app), the App now shows:

  • Subscript avatar: Concierge's avatar as the main circle, human agent's avatar as a smaller subscript circle (same pattern as workspace + user avatars)
  • "assisted by [Agent Name]" text below the message header
  • Message grouping break: Consecutive Concierge messages are ungrouped when the human agent presence changes

How it works:

  1. getHumanAgentAccountIDFromReportAction() checks if the actor is Concierge AND the originalMessage contains humanAgentAccountID
  2. useReportActionAvatars builds a subscript avatar pair (Concierge + agent) when present
  3. ReportActionItemSingle renders "assisted by [Name]" below the sender line
  4. canActionsBeGrouped breaks grouping when humanAgentAccountID changes between messages

Tests

Set up

  1. Log in with any test account on New Expensify
  2. Message Concierge and say that you want to talk to a human in order to test this change
  3. Log in to Concierge with your Expensify account (in an incognito window) and find the conversation
  4. Select "Reply as yourself", and send a reply to the test user

Main flow

  1. As the test account, verify the agent's message shows a subscript avatar — Concierge as the main avatar with the agent's avatar as a smaller overlay
  2. Verify "assisted by [Agent Name]" text appears below the message header (or "assisted by a human support agent" if the agent has no display name)
  3. Hover over the main avatar and verify the tooltip displays Concierge
  4. Hover over the subscript avatar and verify the tooltip displays the agent name
  5. Click on it
  6. Verify it opens a details page for Concierge
  7. Verify that the agent's email is never exposed
  8. In Concierge de-select "Reply as yourself" and send another message
  9. Verify this message shows a standard Concierge avatar with no subscript and no "assisted by" text
  10. Verify the two consecutive Concierge messages are not grouped together (each has its own avatar and header) since the human agent presence changed
  11. Sign out and sign back in — verify the subscript avatar and "assisted by" text still appear on the historical message

Concierge chat thread

  1. Open a thread on one of the Concierge responses that was assisted by a human
  2. Send a reply, again asking to be helped by a human
  3. As the concierge, agent choose to reply as yourself
  4. As the test user, verify the reply and the header of the thread message display properly with the agent assisting (secondary avatar, "assisted by" text)

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

Offline tests

N/A — these are display-only changes for server-generated report actions. The humanAgentAccountID and personal details are loaded from the server; offline behavior is unchanged.

QA Steps

Internal QA, run the test steps above on staging, following this SO too How can I test sending myself or a specific account a Concierge message?

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

PR Author Checklist

  • I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
  • I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
    • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
    • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
    • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
    • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
    • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
    • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
  • I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
  • I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
    • Android: Native
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: Native
    • iOS: mWeb Safari
    • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
  • I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
    • I verified that any callback methods that were added or modified are named for what the method does and never what callback they handle (i.e. toggleReport and not onIconClick)
    • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
    • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
    • I verified any copy / text shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
      • If any non-english text was added/modified, I used JaimeGPT to get English > Spanish translation. I then posted it in #expensify-open-source and it was approved by an internal Expensify engineer. Link to Slack message:
    • I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
    • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
    • I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.
    • I verified the JSDocs style guidelines (in STYLE.md) were followed
  • If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers

  • I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
  • I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.ts or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
  • I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
  • If any new file was added I verified that:
    • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
  • If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
    • A similar style doesn't already exist
    • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
  • If new assets were added or existing ones were modified, I verified that:
    • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
    • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.
  • If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
  • If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
  • If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
  • If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
  • If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
    • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
    • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
  • If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
  • I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
  • If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

Fixed the typecheck failure by merging main into the branch. The createDraftInitialWorkspace function signature was updated on main (removing accountID/email params), causing type errors in PolicyTest.ts on our branch. The merge resolved this cleanly with no conflicts.

MelvinBot has made 5 consecutive commits trying to fix CI failures. Automatic CI fix dispatches are now paused for this PR.

Next steps: A human should review the recent commits and resolve the conflicting CI errors manually.

Consecutive Concierge messages were grouped under a single avatar even
when the human agent presence changed (e.g. agent replies as themselves
then switches back to Concierge). Add a humanAgentAccountID comparison
in canActionsBeGrouped so each persona transition gets its own avatar.

Fixed the typecheck failure:

  1. Added humanAgentAccountID to OriginalMessageAddComment type in OriginalMessage.ts — the field was only on the top-level ReportAction type but the runtime code reads it from originalMessage
  2. Added the required whisperedTo: [] field to all test originalMessage objects — without it, TypeScript couldn't match the object to OriginalMessageAddComment in the union, causing all fields to resolve to never

Note: there are also pre-existing typecheck errors in tests/actions/PolicyTest.ts that exist on main and are unrelated to this PR.

The failing Changed files ESLint check is unrelated to this PR's code changes. It failed with a transient TLS error (tls: bad record MAC) during the GitHub API call to count commits — a GitHub infrastructure issue, not a lint error. Re-running the check should resolve it.

The Changed files ESLint check failure is unrelated to this PR — it's a transient infrastructure error.

The CI runner hit a TLS network error (tls: bad record MAC) when calling the GitHub API to fetch the commit comparison. ESLint never actually ran. All other checks (full ESLint, TypeScript, tests, builds, prettier) pass.

Fix: Re-run the failed workflow. This should resolve on retry.

The Changed files ESLint check failure is not related to this PR's code. It failed due to a transient TLS network error during the CI setup step:

local error: tls: bad record MAC
jq: parse error: Unfinished string at EOF at line 1, column 1029689

The GitHub API call to compute the diff returned corrupted data due to the TLS error, causing jq to fail before ESLint even ran. All other checks (full ESLint, typecheck, tests, builds) passed.

Fix: Re-run the failed workflow — no code changes needed.

The Changed files ESLint check failure is unrelated to this PR — it's an infrastructure flake.

The check failed with local error: tls: bad record MAC during the GitHub API call to compute commit history, before ESLint ever ran. This is a transient TLS/network error on the CI runner.

To resolve: Re-run the failed Changed files ESLint check job. The other failing check (checklist) is the reviewer checklist and can be ignored.

When viewing a thread on a Concierge message sent by a human agent,
the header subtitle now shows "from Concierge - assisted by [Name]"
instead of just "from Concierge". Applied in both HeaderView and
AvatarWithDisplayName to cover all thread header contexts.

  • generateTranslations — Transient GitHub Actions infrastructure error (Failed to download archive 'mxschmitt/action-tmate' after 3 retries). Unrelated to PR code — re-running should fix it.

The generateTranslations failure is not related to this PR — it's a transient GitHub Actions infrastructure error. The runner failed to download the mxschmitt/action-tmate action after 3 retries (Error while copying content to a stream).

Please re-run the failed job. All other checks (ESLint, typecheck, tests, builds, etc.) are passing.

ParentNavigationSubtitle previously hid the "- assisted by [...]"
suffix whenever humanAgentName was falsy, which also dropped it when
the account exists but personal details have not yet hydrated (or

"a human support agent" label when the name is missing.

PR Review

Overall this is a clean, well-structured implementation. All CI checks pass (only the PR Author Checklist is failing, which is expected). Here's my assessment:

Architecture — The approach is sound: a single utility function (getHumanAgentAccountIDFromReportAction) gates all behavior, keeping the logic centralized. The subscript avatar pattern reuses the existing workspace+user avatar mechanism, and message grouping breaks are handled correctly.

What looks good:

  • canActionsBeGrouped comparison is correct — undefined !== undefined is false, so normal (non-Concierge) message grouping is unaffected
  • getHumanAgentAccountIDFromReportAction is well-guarded: null actions, non-Concierge actors, missing originalMessage, and non-number field values are all handled
  • The OriginalMessageAddComment type change is backwards compatible (optional field)
  • The AvatarWithDisplayName refactor actually improves the useEffect — dependency changed from the entire parentReportActions collection to the primitive parentReportActionActorAccountID, reducing unnecessary effect runs
  • Tests cover the three key grouping scenarios (agent change, same agent, no agent)

One minor observation (not a blocker):

There's a brief visual inconsistency during the moment before personalDetails loads for the agent: ReportActionItemSingle will show "assisted by a human support agent" text (because humanAgentAccountID is truthy and humanAgentName is undefined), but the avatar will remain plain Concierge without the subscript overlay (because useReportActionAvatars skips subscript when humanAgentDetails is falsy). Once personal details load, both update correctly. This is consistent with how the delegate/copilot pattern handles the same loading gap, so it's fine — just flagging for awareness.

No blocking issues found. 👍

P2 Badge Normalize empty agent names before using assisted-by fallbacks

getHumanAgentDisplayName() returns the raw displayName, so an empty string is treated as a valid name instead of “missing.” Because downstream call sites use nullish fallback (??), a blank profile name yields UI like assisted by (no name) and can suppress the subscript avatar label path that expects a non-empty secondary name. This is user-visible whenever a Concierge agent account has an empty displayName; returning undefined for empty/whitespace names would preserve the intended generic fallback.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

(Neil's AI agent) Good catch, agreed. Nullish fallback (??) won't substitute humanSupportAgent for an empty string, and the subscript label downstream would have rendered as assisted by with no name. Changed getHumanAgentDisplayName to treat empty / whitespace-only displayName as missing (returns undefined), so the generic fallback kicks in on every call site. Added two unit tests (empty string, whitespace-only) in ReportActionsUtilsTest.ts. Pushed in 5a86317.

- Add unit tests covering getHumanAgentAccountIDFromReportAction and
  getHumanAgentDisplayName (PR review from @mountiny).
- Treat empty / whitespace-only agent displayName as missing in
  getHumanAgentDisplayName so downstream `?? humanSupportAgent` fallbacks
  kick in and the subscript label is never rendered as "assisted by "
  with no name (codex P2 feedback).

✋ This PR was not deployed to staging yet because QA is ongoing. It will be automatically deployed to staging after the next production release.

pull Bot pushed a commit to erickirt/expensify that referenced this pull request Apr 20, 2026
The backend sets `displayName` to "First Last" via
`Account::getDisplayNameUsingFirstAndLastName`, but the product design
(per review on PR Expensify#87508) is to show "assisted by FirstName" and label
the subscript avatar with only the agent's first name. Switch to the
dedicated `firstName` field (which Auth already sends via
`formatNewDotPersonalDetails`) and fall back to the generic human
support agent label when firstName is missing/blank.

🤖 Help site changes are required.

PR #87508 introduces user-visible "assisted by [Agent Name]" labels and subscript avatars on Concierge messages when a human agent is assisting. The help site article docs/articles/new-expensify/concierge-ai/Support-Agent.md discusses human escalation but didn't describe these new visual indicators.

Draft PR created: #88404

Changes made:

  • Added a new section "How to tell when a human agent is assisting through Concierge" explaining the subscript avatar, "assisted by" label, and separate message grouping
  • Added an FAQ entry "What does 'assisted by' mean on a Concierge message?"
  • Updated keywords for search discoverability
