Transferring a call
You can transfer a call to another agent in your contact center. You can perform a supervised transfer or a blind transfer. In a supervised transfer, the call is placed on hold, and you speak to the third party before completing the transfer. In a blind transfer, which is the default option, you transfer the call without speaking to the third party.
