Transfer Tab: Streamlining Call Transfers in Your Bigfoot Voice Account
Welcome to the Transfer Tab guide, a crucial component of the Agent Panel in your Bigfoot Voice account. This feature simplifies the process of transferring active or on-hold calls, ensuring seamless communication between your team and callers.
Understanding the Transfer Tab
The Transfer Tab becomes active only when a call is in progress or on hold. This dedicated space is designed to facilitate both blind and attended transfers, enhancing your ability to manage calls efficiently.
Blind Transfer vs. Attended Transfer
Blind Transfer: This type of transfer allows you to transfer an active call directly to another destination without speaking to the called party first. The call is initiated using SIP REFER.
Attended Transfer: In this scenario, you speak to the called party before transferring the call. The UI for attended transfer is designed with a staged process to ensure a smooth transition. It's important to note that attended transfer relies on validated FusionPBX transfer policies and consult-call behavior.
Speed Dial Entries
Speed Dial entries can be used to populate transfer destinations, saving you time and effort by eliminating the need to manually dial numbers during the transfer process.
Preparing for Transfers
Before initiating a transfer, ensure you have the correct destination number and that the called party is ready to receive the call. For attended transfers, be prepared to speak with the called party and confirm the transfer.
