Agent Transfer Node

The Agent Transfer node allows transferring control from an existing automated contact flow to a live human agent based on a defined trigger. The node acts as a bridge between automated and human-assisted interactions within a contact center or conversational AI system. It provides the necessary configuration options to manage the transfer process, ensure an optimal customer experience during the transition, and handle any errors or exceptions that may arise.

Configure the Node

General Settings

Click the General Settings icon and provide the following information:

1. A Custom Name to identify the node.
2. Your Message to User: The message that will be played to the customer via the IVR. Select one of the following options from under Choose your message type:
   1. Text to speech: This option allows you to transcribe text to speech. Type the text to be transcribed in the textbox or select an already configured message.
      1. Click + Create New to create a new prompt for the text-to-speech message type. Enter a name for your message and type its contents.
      2. Define multiple message types for the prompt message to be played to the customer by clicking + Add Another. In this case, one message will be randomly selected and played during runtime.
         
   2. Audio File: You can type a new message to be played to the customer in the text field or click + Upload New to upload an audio file (.mp3 or .wav format) with the message to be played;
   3. Link: Click + Create New to add the text of the message you want to play to the customer and insert the URL of an audio file in .mp3 or .wav format. Click + Add Another to add another message URL.
      

Transfer to Agents

In the Transfer to Agents section, configure the following:

1. Select the required Skills from the list. This way, you can define the routing logic that directs the customer to a specific agent with the skills;
2. Select “No, I want to override with adding specific Agents” to route the transfer to a specific agent by overriding the existing skills. Select an Agent from the dropdown list.

Waiting Experience

Click the Waiting Experience icon to configure the customer’s Waiting Experience for the current Agent Transfer flow as follows:

Choose whether to use the Default Waiting Experience or override it. Clicking Override activates the field and allows you to select from a dropdown list of available options.

In Queue Flow: This flow type can be attached to the Agent Transfer node.

• It modifies the Agent Transfer node in the Experience Flows to enable users to select a flow.
• This flow type runs simultaneously with Waiting Experiences.
• This flow executes whenever the associated interaction enters a queue, including transfers into a queue.
• This flow does not trigger during transfers between agents.

The result of this flow type is always an agent transfer.

Error Handling

Use this section to handle system errors during customer interactions.

• Your Message to User: Choose the message type from Text to Speech, Link, or audio; then, type the message, upload an audio file (mp3 and .wav formats are only supported for audio files), or provide a URL to the error message that will be played out to the caller when a system error occurs. If the message is not configured, the default system message is played. See General Settings for a detailed explanation of these features.
• Go to node: Select the node to which you want to direct the error handling flow and define the system behavior. You can create a new node by selecting a node type or identifying and selecting an existing node.
