Each business runs into a situation when a client call needs to be transferred to another employee. Zadarma cares about all customers’ convenience and offers two ways to transfer calls:
- With a keyboard shortcut.
- With certain buttons on IP-phones.
To transfer an incoming or outgoing call within Zadarma free PBX click on # then enter user’s extension number and # again. For example, #101#.
To transfer a call with a voice notification, enter * then extension number and #. For example, *101#.
Incoming calls can be transferred to other scenarios (departments) of the voice menu that received the call: enter #, then voice menu scenario number and # again, e.g. #1#
Most of such telephones have a specific button that allows you to transfer calls. Zadarma supports this option and below you can find a few examples.
It is worth mentioning that in some cases you can choose from the types of transferring: blind transfer and attended transfer. The difference is quite straightforward, in the first case user A transfers a call to user B and is immediately disconnected from that call. In the second case, user A can notify user B about the call and only after user A hangs up, the caller is connected to user B.
