Overview
In Edify App, an attended transfer is a transfer where the customer is placed on hold while the owner of the interaction communicates with the recipient of the transfer. After talking to the recipient of the transfer, the owner of the interaction can either complete the transfer or conference the customer into the conversation.Â
When the owner of the interaction is done with the conference the owner of the interaction can transfer the call to the recipient or cancel the transfer to return to the original call.
When transferring an interaction, click Attended to initiate an attended transfer.
There are three overarching steps for performing an attended transfer:
Type
Decide where to transfer the interaction (user, queue, or contact)
Contact
Select or enter the person’s name, queue name, or contact number. For transfers to Users and Queues, select a name from the list or search for the name using the search field. For transfers to Contacts, type in the external number you want to contact.
Complete
Finish the transfer by clicking Attended. This will put the customer on hold and initiate the call between the interaction owner and the recipient.
