Overview

Live Transfers let your assistant automatically transfer a caller to a real phone number based on a specific trigger phrase. You can create up to 50 transfer scenarios per assistant. Transfers can be reused across assistants, or kept specific to one.

Configure Live Transfers

On the Live Transfer Management page, click Add Live Transfer to get started. You’ll see two options:
  • Create New Live Transfer: Set up a new transfer scenario
  • Use Existing Live Transfer: Select a transfer already created for another assistant

Fields Explained

Live Transfer Name

Add a short, descriptive name for this transfer. This is just for your reference in the dashboard.

Trigger Phrase

Enter the phrase that the assistant should recognize to initiate the transfer. This might be something like: "I'd like to speak to someone"
"Talk to an agent"
"Transfer me to billing"
Trigger phrases are used by the AI to understand intent, not just exact wording.
For example, if you enter a trigger phrase like “speak to an employee,” the assistant will also recognize variations such as “talk to a human” or “get me to a person.”

Transfer Pattern

This is the dial pattern the assistant will use to trigger the transfer. For example:
1# means the user will press 1 followed by the pound key.

Transfer Phone Number

The phone number the assistant will transfer the call to. Use a valid 10-digit number.

Reusable

Check this box if you want to make this transfer available to other assistants.
If you don’t see an existing live transfer that you already created, check to make sure you have the “reusable” checkbox turned on.

Response Message

This is what the assistant will say right after the trigger phrase is detected and the transfer begins.
Example: Press 1 followed by the pound key to be transferred.
We recommend the wording press 1 followed by the pound key since sometimes people forget to press pound

Warm Transfers

Warm transfers allow your assistant to brief the person receiving the call before or after they connect with the caller. This reduces the need for customers to repeat themselves and makes handoffs feel seamless. You can configure warm transfer behavior in the settings for each live transfer. When creating or editing a transfer, choose Warm Handoff under Transfer Type.

Staff Briefing (Whisper)

Only the person receiving the call hears a message before the caller connects. The caller does not hear this. You can choose between:
  • Static — a fixed message that plays every time (e.g., “Transferring a caller from AI assistant”)
  • AI-Generated — a prompt that tells the AI what to say, such as “Summarize the conversation quickly, in less than 2 sentences, focusing on what is important for the staff member to know to assist the customer”

Post-Connection Message

Both the caller and the receiving person hear a message after the call connects. This is useful when transparency is preferred. You can choose between:
  • Static — a fixed message (e.g., “You are now connected”)
  • AI-Generated — a prompt for the AI to generate a contextual message

Combination

You can use a whisper and a post-connection message together — for example, an AI-generated briefing whispered privately to the staff member, followed by a static “You are now connected” message for both parties.

Hold Experience

Choose what the caller hears while waiting to be connected during a warm transfer. Options include a ringing tone, hold music, or silence.

Seconds Before Voicemail Starts

Optionally set a time limit for how long the transfer rings before the call goes to voicemail.
Warm transfers require the new phone system. If your assistant has not yet been migrated, warm transfers will not be available. Contact support if you’d like to be migrated.

Caller ID Forwarding

How the caller’s phone number is forwarded depends on the type of transfer:
Transfer TypeForwards Caller ID
Cold transferYes
Cold transfer with extensionNo
Warm transferNo
When caller ID cannot be forwarded, the receiving party will see your assistant’s phone number instead. The original caller’s number is still captured and available in your conversation history, CRM integrations, and email notifications.

Managing Transfers

Once created, your transfers will appear in the table. You can view:
  • Name
  • Trigger Phrase
  • Transfer Pattern
  • Phone Number
  • Reusability
  • Staff Briefing (active vs inactive)
  • Post-Connection (active vs inactive)
  • Active Agents
  • Actions (edit or delete)
Use the filters above the table to view transfers for a specific assistant or only those marked as reusable.
