How do I transfer a live call to another agent in MyOperator?

Quick answer


While on a call, press ✱2 + agent extension on your phone, or click Transfer in the Live Call widget, pick the target agent, and hit Go. The caller hears brief hold music and then connects to the chosen agent; Call Logs will show transfer_agent with a timestamp.


When should I use this guide?


Use these steps whenever you need to move a caller to the right teammate (e.g., from Support to Billing) without asking the caller to hang up and redial.



1 — When to use call transfer


  • Move a caller to the correct expert without repeating IVR steps.
  • Warm-consult a teammate before handing the call over.



2 — Can I transfer a live call to a department instead of a single agent?


Yes. While on a call, you can:


  • Web: click Transfer → Department → choose the queue → Confirm, or
  • Mobile: dial ✱2 + department extension.


The caller is placed in that department’s queue and rings the next available agent; recordings and logs remain intact.

Requirement

Method 1 — Mobile dial pad


  1. While on the call, dial ✱2.
  2. Wait for the “Transfer” prompt.
  3. Enter the agent’s extension (e.g., 221).
  4. (Optional) Speak to the agent (warm consult).
  5. Hang up to complete.



Method 2 — Web dashboard (Live Call widget)

  2. Click Transfer.

4 — Confirm it worked


  • Caller hears hold music, then Agent B.
  • Call Logs show Transferred to Agent B (221).
  • Agent A’s leg ends; Agent B’s leg stays active.



5 — Edge cases & limitations


  • If Agent B is Busy, the transfer fails and the caller returns to Agent A (or the queue).
  • Extensions change if you re-provision users.
  • Blind transfers (no consult) depend on your plan’s feature toggle.



6 — Can I transfer an outgoing call to another user via extension transfer or the live-call widget?


No. Call transfers through extensions or the live-call widget work only for incoming IVR calls; outgoing calls cannot be transferred to another user at this time.
