Tips

Be specific in descriptions
VagueSpecific
”When they ask for help""When the caller requests to speak with a human or the issue requires manual intervention"
"For sales""When the caller expresses strong purchase intent and wants to proceed”
Use whisper messages for context

Only the agent hears this — give them everything they need:

“Incoming transfer: Customer John calling about a billing dispute. He’s been charged twice for order #12345. Already verified his identity.”

Use three-way messages for introductions

Both parties hear this — use it for smooth handoffs:

“I’ve connected you with Sarah from our billing team. Sarah, John is calling about a duplicate charge on order #12345.”
