Why can't a Communicate licensed user transfer a call to a queue?
Or am I doing something wrong with the setup?
I setup a customer recently with new ORG. Most of their users are business user, not ACD agents, who we have put in the Communicate User role. We have found that they are unable to transfer a call to a queue. Specifically, they cannot see queue names in the Transfer window search results. I found this Resource Center article,
https://help.mypurecloud.com/articles/transfer-call/, that implies in the prerequisite note at the top of the article that any user with this permission can transfer a call to a queue.
Prerequisites
- Transfer to queue: Routing > Queue > View assigned to any user role
So we gave that permission to the Communicate User role, but those users in that Communicate User role still could not do the transfers. So I opened a Support ticket and got back response with another Resource Center article,
https://help.mypurecloud.com/articles/transfer-voice-interaction/ that notes different prerequisite permissions.
Prerequisites
The following permissions:
- Conversation > Call > Add
- Routing > Queue > View
- Routing > Agent > OnQueue
- Routing > Queue > Join
- Routing > Queue > Search
- Routing > Queue > View
The problem is these, that these permissions require a license upgrade from Communicate license to one of the PureCloud licenses. Of course customer doesn't want to do that for all their business users.
Either the documentation needs to be clarified, or I'm doing something wrong. Anyone else have any feedback?
Or is this simply a marketing decision from Genesys regarding licenses. I'm just an engineer, don't even know pricing for licenses. But seems like this should be basic to be able to transfer to queues.
Can you folks at Genesys bounce this off your marketing people for a response?
