Transfer options
When you transfer a live call from Spoke to a Twilio Flex queue, Spoke Phone gives you two different types of 'transfer' actions to choose from.
| Type | Description |
| Transfer | The direct Transfer option will immediately end your call and start calling the colleague you selected. When your colleague answers, they will be talking to the original caller. |
| Announce then transfer | The Announce then Transfer option will keep the original caller on hold while connecting you with the colleague you are transferring the call to. This allows you to privately brief your colleague, then connect the call and leave, or, connect the call and stay for a 3-way conversation. |
