Transferring Calls

When you transfer a call using CxEngage, you are sending the caller directly to a queue, transfer list endpoint, or telephone number without waiting to speak to the new participant or for the transfer to complete. This is often referred to as a cold transfer.

If you want to complete any other transfer related function including warm transfer or conferencing with multiple participants, refer to Adding Participants.
