1. Monitoring Live Calls

Live Calls refer to calls that are actively in progress within the system, either inbound or outbound, where communication is currently taking place. The status of live calls provides real-time information, including the call direction, source and destination numbers, call duration, and available actions that can be performed while the call is ongoing.

Field	Explanation	Options/Example
Call Direction	Indicates if the call is inbound (incoming) or outbound (outgoing).	Example - "Incoming"
Source Number	The phone number or extension from which the call originated.	Example - "(+9190XXXXXXX0)" or Agent A-Extension (0604XXXXX55)
Number	The DID number on which the call is received or the DID used to make the outgoing call.	Example - "+91806XXXXXX0"
Destination	The phone number or extension to which the call is being directed.	Example - "096XXXXXXX0"
Duration	Shows the length of time that the call has been active, usually in minutes and seconds.	Example - "00:05:32" (5 minutes and 32 seconds)
State	Describes the current status of the call, such as "Ringing," "Active," or "On Hold."	Example - "Answered"
Action	Represents the actions available after the call, such as ending the call or taking further steps.	Example: Hangup, Listen/Whisper, Copy Call-Id - Actions like ending the call, listening, whispering, or copying the Call ID. Once you click on Listen/Whisper, you can perform multiple actions: 1. Monitor: Allows you to listen to the live call without the agent or customer knowing you're listening. 2. Whisper: Enables you to speak to the agent, but the customer will not hear you. This is helpful for coaching the agent during the call. 3. Transfer: Allows you to transfer the call to another agent or destination. 4. Barge: Lets you join the conversation and communicate with both the agent and the customer.

2. Feature Codes

Dial the feature code followed by the intercom number or external number to transfer the call. Example: Dial #1 followed by the intercom number to perform a blind transfer.

Note: In order to transfer the call from one agent to another or to an external number, follow the given instructions:

Type of Transfer	Feature Code	Explanation
Blind Transfer	# 1	Transfers the call immediately without notifying the recipient.

Attended Transfer	*2	Allows the agent to speak to the recipient before transferring the call.
External Attended Transfer (Queue On)	*4	Transfers the call to an external number after confirming with the recipient (queue active).
Conference Call	*3	Initiates a three-way call between the original caller, recipient, and transferring agent.
IVR Transfer, Department Transfer (Queue OFF)	# 1	Transfers the call to a specific department through IVR when the queue is inactive.
