Cold Transfer & Warm Transfer
Move calls seamlessly with the right level of context
Cold Transfer and Warm Transfer give agents explicit control over how calls are handed off to colleagues. Cold transfers immediately move the customer to another agent without introduction, perfect for routine routing. Warm transfers let the agent speak privately with a colleague first, providing context before bringing the customer into the conversation. Both modes ensure customers reach the right expert while maintaining professional transitions that build confidence.

Why choose Call Transfer
Call Transfer ensures customers reach the right expert quickly without being blindly bounced between agents. Cold transfers work perfectly for routing to known departments or specialists. Warm transfers show professionalism by ensuring the receiving agent has full context before the customer explains their situation again. This reduces customer frustration, improves resolution times, and creates a more cohesive team experience where agents support each other effectively.
How to use Call Transfer
During a call, click the transfer button to choose between cold or warm transfer. For cold transfers, select the destination and the customer is immediately routed. For warm transfers, the system places the customer on hold while you speak with your colleague. Provide context, confirm they can help, then bring the customer into the conversation or complete the transfer. If the colleague is unavailable, the call returns to you automatically.
