A warm transfer is when you send a call to a colleague, but provide them with some context about the call before handing off the call completely. Warm transfers help ensure that your colleague understands the customer's problem and is equipped to solve it before you end your customer interaction. Make a call with the Dialpad, and once you're ready to transfer, you can follow the standard procedure for a warm transfer.

To leave the call, click the "leave call" at the top or at the bottom, keeping the other agent and customer talking.

Info

When you cold transfer to another Agent (Agent B) and Agent B rejects or ignores the Reservation, the Task will be routed to another Agent using the Workflow that found you.The Task will use the routing conditions to find the most suitable agent to whom it can offer the task. This means it could be re-offered to any available agent who can receive tasks on that workflow, including you if you haven't taken another call or changed to an unavailable status.

  1. The call should connect to the other agent. Your call will end and your task will now be in wrap-up state. Your colleague will stay connected to the caller and continue the conversation.
