Transfer and Continue switchboard object

The Transfer and Continue object is our most commonly used object. This object is used to ring a phone or a group of phones (which is called a Ring Group).

The Transfer and Continue switchboard object, a gray rounded node labeled TRANSFER AND CONTINUE with a Drop connector on the left, a Drag connector on the right, an Extension dropdown set to 100 - Recpt 1, and a Timeout field set to 20

Options

  • Extension: This is the phone or group of phones you would like to ring.
  • Timeout: The amount of time (in seconds) the phone(s) will ring.

Use cases

You will use this object when you want to ring a phone or group of phones. You can put more than one of these objects in a switchboard. This can be helpful to ring the front desk for a few seconds, place another transfer and continue, then ring the rest of the office phones if the front desk doesn't pick up after a given period of time. If a phone is on DND, has call forwarding, or is unplugged, it will be removed from the transfer and continue and the call flow will continue on.
