Transfer a Call
You can use the singleStepTransfer method to have a logged-in agent transfer a voice call to another number. singleStepTransfer can be used any time after the agent has accepted a call.
The singleStepTransfer method can be attached to a web element, such as a button, on your webpage. When clicked, the button will process the API method. Add a field to enter the destination phone number.
You may want to use singleStepTransfer with the following other methods:
- getState, to get data logs for the interaction
- setStatus, to change state back to "Ready" after the call has been transferred
In this article, you will learn how to:
- Attach singleStepTransfer to a button
- Add a field to enter the destination number for the call
- Place sample JavaScript into HTML
Sample Code
In this sample code, the methods are attached to button elements.
Copy this sample code for pasting into your HTML file. This is the bare minimum that you need for the SDK to work. Make sure you replace "<tenant>" with the name of your Agent Desktop web server (e.g., "example.brightpattern.com").
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://<tenant>.brightpattern.com/agentdesktop/libs/servicepattern-sdk-v1.js">
</script>
<iframe id="repeater" style="position:absolute; right: 8px; width: 300px; height: 700px;" src="https://<tenant>.brightpattern.com/agentdesktop/UniversalRepeater.jsp"></iframe>
<button onclick="bpspat.api.getState(log)">Get State</button>
<br>
<br>
<input id="transfer_number" type="text" placeholder="Number"/>
<button onclick="bpspat.api.singleStepTransfer(document.getElementById('transfer_number').value)">Single Step Transfer</button>
<br>
<br>
<div id="log">Logs...</div>
<br>
<br>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.bpspat.api.init("https://<tenant>.brightpattern.com");
function log(data) {
let div = document.createElement("div");
div.innerHTML = JSON.stringify(data);
document.getElementById("log").appendChild(div);
}
</script>
