Overview
A blind transfer is an immediate transfer of an interaction to a user, queue, or external contact. Blind transfers don’t include a hand off or “warming” process like attended transfers.
When transferring an interaction, click Complete to initiate a blind transfer.
There are three overarching steps for performing a blind 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 Complete. This will end ownership of the call and your interaction will enter Wrap Up status.
Note: For voice calls transferred to Users, there are three options under Complete. Use these options to choose where the call will go if the transfer is not accepted. The options are Current Queue, Queue Voicemail, and UC Voicemail.
Current Queue returns the call back to the current queue.
Queue Voicemail returns the call to the current queue’s voicemail.
Note: If the transfer is being attempted to a non-queue user, the call will be transferred to the non-queue user’s voicemail.
UC Voicemail returns the call to the recipient’s voicemail.
You can cancel an interaction at any time before clicking Complete.
