Build Warm Transfers with Twilio
Have you ever been disconnected from a support call while being transferred to someone else?
Warm transfer eliminates this problem. Using Twilio-powered warm transfers, your agents will have the ability add other people to an in-progress phone call to provide a seamless customer experience.
Here is how it works at a high level:
- The first agent becomes available when they connect through the web client.
- The second agent also becomes available when they connect through the web client.
- A client calls our support line.
- The client stays on hold while the first agent joins the call.
- While the first agent is on the phone with the client, the agent can dial a second agent into the call.
- Once the second agent is on the call, the first one can disconnect from it. The client and the second agent stay on the call.
