In the Aircall Workspace app, transferring a call is a straightforward process that allows you to redirect a call to another team member or external number.
Here's how you can perform a call transfer:
updated as of August 1, 2025
1. Identify the Need for Transfer
Confirm the nature of the concern
Determine the correct department to handle the request
2. Gather Required Information
Passenger/Client Name
Booking Reference or File ID
Nature of the concern
Any actions already taken
3. Check Availability
Confirm if the target department is available to take the call (via Zoom and Slack)
If unavailable, proceed to Step 6 (Callback option)
4. Warm Transfer
Briefly inform the customer that you will connect them to the right team
Call the department and provide a quick summary of the concern
Once accepted, connect the call and properly hand over
5. Document the Interaction
Log the transfer details in the system (time, reason, who it was transferred to)
Note any follow-ups needed
6. If No Live Transfer is Possible
Apologize and inform the customer the team is currently unavailable
Create a callback/task request with full details
Provide the customer with an expected timeframe for follow-up
How to Transfer via AirCall Workspace
While on an active call, tap the Transfer button on the in-call screen.
Warm Transfer (Talk first): Allows you to speak with the recipient before transferring the call. We always use this form of transfer.
Cold Transfer (Transfer now): Transfers the call directly without prior communication.
Search for the team member or external number you wish to transfer the call to.
For a warm transfer, after speaking with the recipient, tap Transfer now to finalize the transfer.
For a cold transfer, tap Transfer now immediately after selecting the recipient.
