Allows CX agents to transfer an active conversation, add agents to the conference, and send Whisper Message.
Transfer a Conversation
Agents can transfer an active conversation to another agent if think that the other agent will better answer the customer's query. A conversation can be transferred in two ways:
Queue Transfer
Direct Transfer (Agent-to-Agent transfer)
Queue Transfer
Agents can transfer a conversation to another queue. The system looks for a suitable agent to join the conversation.
To Transfer to the queue
Follow these steps to transfer
Click the Agent Assistance button on the control toolbar. The agent will see a dropdown containing the list of all queues with the following information:
Queue Name (department name or any queue name)
Number of agents available (ready + active) in the queue. This helps the agent to decide whether this conversation should be transferred to the selected queue or not (based on the available agents count).
Choose a queue from the list and select the Transfer option.
In the Message box in the Transfer to Queue dialog box, the agent can optionally type a message for the receiving agent. This message is then received by the other agent who is going to join the conversation. Click the Transfer button to transfer the conversation.
The agent will see two notifications. One is a notification that "Conversation is closed due to CHAT TRANSFERRED" and another toaster notification "Transfer request placed successfully"
The chat will be parked in the transferred queue on priority. The system will look for an available agent from the queue to route the conversation to an agent.
The customer sees a notification, "Your request is being transferred to <queue-name>, please wait!", followed by another notification that, "Agent1 has left".
If the other agent does not accept the request, the system keeps on looking for another agent for some time.
If no agent is found,
The request is timed out.
The customer will see a notification, "No agents were available".
Writing a note while transferring a request is an option thing for agents to describe something about the conversation to the transferee.
In case, an agent receives a transferred request from another agent,
A transfer request notification will be received with the following information:
Channel icon via which the request is placed (WhatsApp, Web, Facebook, etc.)
A button to Accept the request
Name of the customer if identified
The optional notes are entered by the agent while transferring the conversation. (See point #3 above.)
Click the Accept button to accept the conversation
The customer will also be notified that 'You have joined the conversation'.

Add Agents to Conference
This allows agents to add one or more agents to the conference with the customer.
When an agent is added to the conference, the conversation becomes a conferenced conversation. All newly added agents in the conference have the same level of rights and permissions as the first primary agent in the conversation. This also implies that if the first agent leaves the conversation, the conference will continue with the agents in the conversation.
