You can use Phone blocks to transfer a call to an external phone number or SIP address. The following results are possible:
To add and configure Phone blocks on a callflow:
This feature allows you to supply the agent with basic details, such as the caller's full name, before the agent speaks to the caller. You can turn on Whisper Transfers for all transfers or for individual transfers.
The agent must provide a DTMF response when provided with the whisper prompt. For example, you might use: Press 1 to accept the call or 2 to decline it. Or, you can add the account number: You have a call from [digits:AccountNumber]. Press 1 to accept or 2 to decline.
If you have provided the WhisperID variable as part of the prompt, the agent can use the CTI Viewer to view the details of the call. For example, you might use: The code is [digits:WhisperID]. Press 1 to accept or 2 to decline.
The following parameters determine the maximum number of times the Whisper Transfer prompt is played to the agent:
If one of these maximums is reached and you still want the call to connect to an agent, you can add the Connect on whisper transfer timeout option in the Preferences tab. Otherwise, the call returns a no answer result.
If the Whisper Transfer is in a queue, you can add the Two-step whisper transfer parameter in the Preferences tab to specify what happens if the Whisper Transfer is in a queue. When enabled, this parameter plays an introductory message to the agent ("Press 9 to hear the message") in a loop until the agent is ready to hear the actual Whisper Transfer. At this point, the agent can press 9 to hear the message or 8 to reject the call.
