Telephony - Call Transfers is the company list of named transfers with a Dial digit - for IVR menus and agent-flow connections. Types include AI Agent, User Extension (SIP), and External Phone.

This is not the list on Call handling - Transfer. That tab picks User, User group, AI agent, and External number from seats, groups, and My Agents. Saving New Call Transfer here does not add a row there.

List columns: Name, Type, Destination, Dial, Availability, Agent Capabilities, Actions. Button: + New transfer. Destinations in screenshots may be redacted.

An IVR needs a digit (1 = Billing, 2 = Sales). A SIP user extension needs a company SIP domain and credentials. Those objects live once, company-wide.

If you only need the AI to say “I’ll put you through to Maria,” skip this page. Use Active directory + Transfer.

+ New transfer opens New Call Transfer:

NameREQUIRED
What the menu / prompt can say (e.g. Sales team).
Dial digitREQUIRED
The number callers press in an IVR menu to reach this destination.
Transfer toREQUIRED
AI Agent, a SIP user extension, or an external phone number.

When Transfer to is AI Agent, pick the AI agent that answers. Agent capabilities include Can start transcription, Can start recording, and related toggles. Availability can be always (24/7) or scheduled hours.

First setup - only when an IVR needs a digit

Section titled “First setup - only when an IVR needs a digit”
  1. Confirm you actually need a dial digit. If not, stop - use Transfer instead.
  2. + New transfer - name, Dial digit, Transfer to, then Create transfer.
  3. User extension: wait until Call settings shows a SIP domain, then set SIP username / password.
  4. Wire the digit in the IVR / flow. Dial the production DID and press that digit. Open Calls.
I created a Call Transfer and Transfer still has no destinations

Expected. Call Transfers do not fill the agent Transfer list. Add a User / User group / AI agent on Transfer, or allow any company destination after those objects exist.
