Transfer customer chats to another queue
In 8x8 Agent Workspace
The brand new interface for 8x8 Contact Center agents to receive and process customer interactions., if you wish to transfer an ongoing chat to another queue, you can transfer it with just a few clicks. During a chat, 8x8 AgentAgents use the Agent Console to view and manage customer interactions. Virtual Contact Center supports Regular agents and Supervisor agents. Workspace gives you the visibility to other chat queues, whether you are part of them or not. Simply click 
and select a chat queue to transfer the chat to. In the queue details, you can see the number of agents that are currently enabled to serve the queue, the number of agents available to receive interactions (next to the green icon), the number of interactions waiting in the queue, and the queue waiting time. When no interactions are waiting in the queue, the number of interactions waiting and the waiting time are not displayed. Expand the control panel to view the full description for the icons.
When no agents are enabled to serve the queue or no agents are logged in to the queue, an orange-colored warning sign followed by the number zero 
displays in the queue details. This information empowers you to make an informed decision about which queue to transfer the interaction to, thus expediting the resolution of the issue and increasing customer satisfaction.
When the transfer is complete, the chat terminates at your end, and transfers to an agent available in the other queue.
To transfer a live chat:
- While on a chat with a customer, inform the customer about the transfer.
- Click at the bottom of the Control Panel.
- Under Queues, select the desired queue to transfer your interaction. You can also search and filter the queues for a faster result.
- Select the queue you want to transfer to and click Transfer.
- A confirmation message appears, click Continue. A message shows the transfer was successful. The chat is transferred to the queue instantly, and offered to the first available agent on the queue.
- Continue with Disposition and Wrap up if required.
Note: If enabled by your administrator, the system prevents you from transferring an interaction to an unattended queue. If no agents are logged in to the queue you wish to transfer the interaction, an exclamation symbol displays next to the queue name and the Transfer button is disabled.
