Transferring Chat

While assisting customers, there may be situations where their needs require the expertise of another staff agent. In such cases, you can transfer the ongoing chat enquiry seamlessly to a colleague who can better address the customer's concerns

👍

Let the customer know that they are about to be transferred to another agent. It should contain the reason behind the transfer to manage their expectation.

 

Two types of Chat Transfer

Loopback Transfer

A loopback transfer lets you quickly transfer an enquiry to another tag or staff agent. The transfer occurs instantly, ensuring efficient handling of the enquiry. If the assigned party does not pick it up, the enquiry will return to you for further handling.

Blind Transfer

A blind transfer lets you promptly transfer an enquiry directly to another tag or selected staff agent. The transfer occurs instantly, ensuring swift handling of the enquiry. If the assigned party does not pick it up, the enquiry will become a "missed enquiry."

 

How to do a Loopback Transfer

To loopback transfer a chat enquiry:

  • On the chat room panel, click the vertical ellipsis ... icon on the top-right corner, then click on Loopback Enquiry.
    • You may also click on the Gear Settings Icon in the Room Information panel, then click on Loopback Transfer.
  • On the pop-up window, select the staff member to transfer the enquiry.
    • You may also transfer the enquiry to a Tag by clicking on the tab at the top of the screen and switching from Staff List to Tag List.

    • You are about to transfer the enquiry to {Staff or Tag Name}. If the assigned party does not pick up the enquiry, it will return to you to continue handling it.
