Introduction to Warm Call Transfers

A warm call transfer is a feature that allows you to transfer a call to another party while retaining the ability to speak with the caller until the transfer is complete. This ensures a smooth transition and enhances the caller's experience by providing them with personalized attention throughout the process.

Setting Up Your Phone System

Before you can perform a warm call transfer, you must first set up your phone system within the CRM. Here's how to get started:

1. Access Settings: Navigate to the settings section of your CRM account.
2. Configure Phone Numbers: Locate the "Phone Numbers" section and add a phone system. It's crucial to have your phone system set up prior to attempting any calls.

Performing a Warm Call Transfer

Once your phone system is configured, you're ready to perform a warm call transfer. Follow these steps:
