Transfer Callers to the Right Agent with a More Intuitive User Interface
It’s easier for agents to transfer calls to another agent and to add callers to a call in the updated Omni-Channel Call Controls tab. Agents can introduce the new agent to the customer by merging two calls into one call: “I’m adding Jane Doe to our call.” They can switch from one call to the other, so customers don’t need to repeat themselves: “Let me put you on hold for a minute while I update our billing specialist on your situation.” Agents can leave the call after the customer is transferred to the second agent, so they’re available to help other customers: “Now that you’re talking with the right person, I’ll drop off.” -

Stay Secure with the Revised Telephony Integration REST API
