Objective

How to transfer a call to another queue in 8x8 Contact Center.

Applies To

  • 8x8 Agent Workspace
  • Call Transfer

Procedure

8x8 Contact Center allows agents to transfer an active call to another phone queue. Before transferring an active call to another queue, the agent handling the call should check the status of the destination queue and then transfer. 

To transfer an active phone interaction to a different queue:

  1. Announce to the current caller that you are going to transfer them to another department.
  2. Click on the Transfer button on the call control panel.
    • Agent Workspace does not place the phone interaction on line 1 on hold:

  3. Choose a queue, and click Transfer.
  4. Agent Workspace transfers the phone interaction to the selected queue, then changes your status to Post Processing. The transferred call stays in the queue until answered by an available agent in the queue.
