In the first scenario, the inbound call flow transfers the call to the queue using "Transfer to ACD" block with ACD skills, and there is no "Set skill" block in the in-queue flow of the first queue.
In the second scenario, the inbound call flow transfers the call to the queue using "Transfer to ACD" block without ACD skills, and skills are assigned using "Set skill" block in the in-queue flow of the first queue.

Irina - can you also let us know if your org is set to 'strip skills on blind transfer'. (This can be found in Org-settings). If that is enabled, the transfer will strip the skills!!!

Hi Chris,
I've made two tests.
1. Works as expected:
a. Inbound call comes into the contact center and hits Call Flow CF where it picks up ACD skills s1, s2, & s3 and transferred to the Q1.
b. The call is then connected to Agent A in Queue Q1 (Agent A has all skills matching).
c. Agent A then blind transfers the call to Queue Q2.
d. The Call.ACDSkills variable in the in-queue flow of Queue Q2 contains all skills: s1, s2, & s3.
2. Works unexpected:
a. Inbound call comes into the contact center and hits Call Flow CF from where it is transferred to the Q1 (without skills).
b. In the in-queue flow of Q1, the skills s1, s2, & s3 are assigned to the call using "Set skills" command.
c. The call is then connected to Agent A in Queue Q1 (Agent A has all skills matching).
d. Agent A then blind transfers the call to Queue Q2.
e. The Call.ACDSkills variable in the in-queue flow of the queue Q2 is empty.

Irina - can you confirm this is the use case you are testing?
1. Inbound call comes into the contact center and hits Call Flow A where it picks up ACD skills A, B, & C
2. The call is then connected to Agent A in Queue A
2a. Agent A has all skills matching
3. Agent A then blind transfers the call to Queue B
4. The call is answered by Agent B who only has Skill A assigned?
I'd like to make sure I understand the test completely so we can assist (or point you to care for help!)

I've made several tests, but as I see, skills, which are set in a queue using the "Set Skills" action, are not passed to the next queue (the Call.ACDSkills variable is empty), even if the "Strip skills on Blind Transfer" parameter is set to off.
If I make transfer with skills from inbound flow, they are passed to all next queues successfully.
Why there is a difference between these two types of skills assign?

Correct. If you assign skill1 to a conversation and then you transfer that to another queue, if Strip Skills is turned off, it will keep the skill1 for the second queue.

Hi Robert,
Does this parameter relate also to skills, that are assigned in a queue?
I mean, if in the Q1 queue "skill1" is assigned using the "set skill" command, an agent answers the call and transfers it to the Q2 queue, will be the "skill1" still assigned to the Q2 in case "Strip skills on Blind Transfer" is off?
Thanks,
Irina

Depends on what you have in your Organization Settings:

This will remove the skills on transfer if the agent uses Blind Transfer. Otherwise, the skills present when the transfer happens will be kept on the conversation.

Hello Community,
I need some clarification about skill-based routing for the following use case.
A call is transferred from an inbound flow to ACD with ACD skills (skill A, skill B, skill C), and is held in queue Q1 with bullseye routing. An agent answers the call quickly (before the skills are removed), and then transfers the call to another queue Q2 with bullseye routing. What happens with skills A, B, C in this case? Are they removed automatically, or should be removed with Conversation -> set skills action from the in-queue flow of Q2 before assigning new skills (D, E, F)?
Thanks,
Irina
