      Notes:
      • The All tab shows the sum of the initial results for the Users, Queues, and External Contacts tabs. To see all matching results, click the User, Queue, and External Contact tabs and scroll until the total showing is the same number as the matching results.
      • If the person you want to transfer the call to has more than one phone number, then to select the number that you want, click More .
      • If you transfer the interaction to a queue, the interaction waits in the queue for the next available agent.
      • If you transfer an ACD call to a queue, Genesys Cloud remembers both the priority and the skills-based information applied to the original call. You can change that behavior in organization settings. For more information, see Strip skills from voice interactions on blind transfers by agents.
    • Genesys Cloud transfers the call to the number, person, or queue and sends you to after call work.
