The following content applies to Genesys Cloud Embeddable Framework.

To perform a blind transfer, follow these steps:

1. Click Transfer in the call controls.

   Your administrator can configure the integration to transfer additional content with an interaction.

   

   When you have both transfer and consult permissions, both the Blind and Consult buttons appear. If you only have one permission, only the corresponding button, either Blind or Consult, appears.

   Note: The Consult button does not appear for chat, email, message, and ACD voicemail interactions.
2. The People and Queues options appear when you have selected:
   • Either the Blind transfer is allowed permission or selected the Blind transfer to agent, Blind transfer to external, and Blind transfer to queue permissions together.
   • A specific combination of permissions that encompass agent or external contact and queue. For example, Blind transfer to external and Blind transfer to queue.

   When both People and Queues filter options appear, they are active and appear with gray backgrounds. The integration searches for agents, external contacts, and queues for any name or number that you type in the Name or Number box.

   Note: People filter option includes both agents and external contacts in your Genesys Cloud organization, and people in your system.

   You can apply the filter for the search in the following ways:

   • To search only for Queues, click the People filter to clear the selection and ensure that the Queues filter is active and appears with a gray background.
   • To search only for People, click the Queues filter to clear the selection and ensure that the People filter is active and appears with a gray background.
   • To search for both People and Queues, click the filter that lacks a gray background and ensure that both the filter options are active and appear with gray backgrounds.

   Your selection persists and appears the next time when you start a transfer.

3. In the Name or Number box, type a queue name, a person’s name, or a phone number.

   As you start to type a name, a list of people and queues appear. The content displayed in the search list depends on your transfer permissions and whether you have selected the People or Queues filter option. For more information, see Manage transfer permissions for agents.

   If you have all the blind transfer permissions, people and queues in your Genesys Cloud organization appear first in the results, followed by people in your system, and then external contacts in your Genesys Cloud organization. The integration limits the results of each search type (people, queues, external contacts) to 25.

   Note: External contacts in your Genesys Cloud organization appear in the results if there are phone numbers associated with them.
