Transfer when

When the caller wants to discuss a quote that’s already in progress or asks to speak to someone in sales.

2. Set when they’re available

Choose Always or Set hours. With set hours, you can add up to four windows per day, and the recipient is only available within them.

3. Plan a fallback

Explain in the instructions what to do if the transfer can’t go through. For example, it can take a name and phone number so the team can follow up. If you want an alert, set up an email after the call.

4. Test it by phone

Transfers can only be tested with a phone call. The browser test can’t check them. Once the assistant has a number, call it and ask to speak to the recipient.

Important

If the destination phone also forwards to the assistant, the call can loop. To avoid it, use a destination phone without that forwarding.

Good to know

You can set up to 10 recipients.
