Transfers
Transfers provide a 'Two Click' option to transfer clients to a third party or an automated message (EIC) directly from the dialer screen.
Sometimes after talking to a Client an Agent may need to transfer the Client to another member of the team or play a standard message (such as a privacy statement).
The transfer mechanism provides a simple and fast way for an Agent to perform the transfer without having to dial a no. nor fiddle around with working out how to use their handset to transfer a call. As soon as the agent select the transfer target the Agent is free to move on to the next call.
Warning: becareful to test each Transfer target as you can easily end up sending to a invalid Transfer Target (e.g. you miss-keyed the phone no.) and the problem won't be immediately obvious until a customer calls back complaining that they have been hungup on.
As soon as you add a Transfer to a Campaign Template the 'Transfer' button will appear on the Agent's Dialer page once they are on a live call. The agent can click the Transfer button at any time whilst on the call to transfer the Client.
The Contact Hub UI is designed to handle a large number of transfer targets with a quick search facility to help agents find the required transfer target.
