Transfer emails to a different queue

In 8x8 Contact Center, after accepting an email, you may want to transfer it back to the same queue or another queue to be handled by better skilled agents or to tend to historical handling.  You can transfer an email interaction to a different queue after you accept the email and during the wrap up time.

To transfer a new email interaction to a different queue:

1. Log in to 8x8 Agent Workspace.

2. Click  the status  menu option and change your status to Available.

3. Check out the email you are about to transfer then click My assigned queues.

4. Click Transfer to queue  in the Control Panel.

5. Select another email queue from the list and click Transfer.

   Note:

   If enabled by your administrator, the system prevents you from transferring an interaction to an unattended queue. If no agents are logged in to the queue you wish to transfer the interaction, an exclamation symbol displays next to the queue name and the Transfer button is disabled.

6. Click Continue in the confirmation box.

   The email processing ends on your end and is presented to another agent available in the transferred queue.

   

   Note:

   You must transfer before the wrap-up time ends.
