How are transfers carried out?
Agents can choose which group or agent they want to transfer the support request to directly from the support inbox. The transfer will always follow the settings defined for the agents' status.
Example of group transfer:
If your company has different support levels (L1, L2, and L3), the transfer can only be made:
- From L1 to L2 and from L2 to L3;
- From L3 to L2 and from L2 to L1.
This ensures that the support flow follows the defined structure.
Example of agent transfer:
If a customer contacts via WhatsApp to discuss overdue invoice payments, the request can be directed to an agent from the billing team. Since the matter is sensitive and requires a quick resolution, the transfer can only be made to agents who are logged in and available at that moment, ensuring the customer receives immediate assistance.
