Transfer calls to humans

Human Call Transfer Action in Synthflow AI

The Human Call Transfer action in Synthflow AI enables your AI assistant to seamlessly transfer a call to a human agent. This feature is valuable when the user requests to speak to a real person or when the situation requires human intervention, such as for managerial escalations or more complex inquiries.


Key Settings for Call Transfer

1. Phone Number to Call

  • Specify the phone number that the assistant will transfer the call to. This can be a direct line or an extension within your organization. There is a validation button to confirm that the number is valid.

2. When Should the Transfer Take Place?

  • This section defines the condition for the transfer. For example, you can set it to transfer when the user requests to speak to a manager or human agent.

3. Background Music

  • Optionally enable background music during the transfer process to ensure a smooth and professional experience for the user while waiting for the transfer to be completed.

Transfer Modes

  • Blind transfer (cold): transfer the call immediately without saying anything to the human agent.
  • Warm transfer (with a message): play a short pre-written message to the human agent before the call is transferred.
  • Warm transfer (with a contextual summary): summarises the call between the customer and the Synthflow agent before the human agent receives the transfer.

Advanced Settings

In the Advanced Settings section, you can fine-tune the behavior of the call transfer action:

  • Extension: If transferring within a phone system, specify the extension to which the call should be transferred.
  • Timeout: how long (in seconds) to wait for the human agent to pick up. If the human agent does not pick up in that time, the transfer is considered failed.
  • Pre-message pause: set a pause before the message is played to the human agent.
  • Post-message pause: set a pause after the messsage is played to the human agent.
