How It Works

Get Call Transfer Running in Three Steps

Add the Call
Transfer Function
Connect Retell’s call transfer API to your existing voice flow or telephony setup. With just a few lines of code, your AI agent gains the ability to redirect calls to human agents or other departments seamlessly—keeping your infrastructure intact while improving the caller’s experience from the very first handoff.
 
Define Routing Logic & Experience
Set up routing rules that determine when and how transfers occur—based on intent, availability, or user sentiment. Choose whether the transition feels conversational or automated. The result: smoother handoffs that reflect your brand's tone and operational flow without requiring extra engineering effort.
 
Test, Refine
& Launch
Simulate real scenarios to ensure your call transfer logic performs perfectly. Adjust parameters, preview transitions, and verify response latency before launch. Once ready, deploy instantly and monitor performance through your Retell dashboard to keep every transfer fast, contextual, and reliable.
