Voicemail Pro Actions: Telephony Actions

4.7.4 Transfer

The Transfer action transfers the caller to the extension that matches the mailbox selected. This is a blind transfer; if the call returns to the voicemail server again, for example if unanswered, it will be treated as a new call. More advanced transfers are done using either a Call List Action 225 or Assisted Transfer Action 229 .

Settings

1.Click the Telephony Actions icon and select Transfer.

2.The General 176 , Entry Prompts 177 , Reporting 182 and Results 183 tabs are standard tabs available to all actions.

3.Select the Specific tab.

or use the browse button to select the text that should be used including using a the value of a call variable

157.

Description (displayed on phone)

The text description to display on the destination phone if internal. Type the required text directly or use the

browse button to select the text that should be used including using a the value of a call variable 157 .

Set Call Priority (Voicemail Pro 5.0+)

If selected, the caller's priority can then be set to Low, Medium or High. A call variable 157 set to 1, 2 or 3 can also be used to set Low, Medium or High priority respectively.

When calls are presented to a hunt group on the IP Office, calls waiting to be answered are queue in order of priority and then longest waiting. By default internal caller's have Low priority while the priority of external callers is set by the IP Office Incoming Call Route used to route the call (default also Low).

Mixing calls of different priority is not recommended if Voicemail Pro is being used to provide queue estimate time to answer (ETA) and queue position announcements to callers, since those values will no longer be accurate when a higher priority call is placed into the queue. Note also that in such a situation Voicemail Pro will not allow a value already announced to a caller to increase.

Notify caller of transfer to target (Voicemail Pro 4.1+)

If enabled, the caller hears "Transferring to" followed by the associated mailbox name of the destination if available or otherwise the destination number if it matches an internal extension number. This follows any prompts selected in the Entry Prompts list above.
