Hello Erin,
I believe the reason why queue transfer are behaving differently from direct calls likely stems from how the call routing and phone registration are configured.
- Direct calls to Group DID
- When calls come directly to the group DID, the system recognizes the call as being directed to the users extension.
- This triggers both the physical phone and we web app interface
- The call control panel appears because the system properly associates the call with the user's Genesys profile.
- Queue transfer Scenario
- When calls are transferred from a queue, they're likely being sent directly to the phone's SIP endpoint
- The system may not be properly associating these transferred calls with the user's Genesys web session.
- This results in the phone ringing but no web app notification.
Some troubleshooting steps that you could try:
- Check phone configuration
- Verify that the polycom phone is properly provisioned in Genesys
- Ensure the phone's extension is correctly mapped to the user's Genesys profile.
- Review Queue transfer settings
- The queue transfer configuration might need to be adjusted to route calls through the user's Genesys extension rather than directly to the phones SIP endpoint
- This would help maintain the connection between the physical device and the web interface
Hope this helps!

Subject: Polycom phone experience - queue transfer vs. direct call. web app experience
Hi All, We have a customer-facing team member that logs into Genesys with a polycom phone. The team member recieves both direct calls and transfers from our contact center queue. Here's a specific scenario:
- Organization uses the Genesys web app
The user has a communicate license
The user logs in most days of the week with a polycom phone (vs. WebRTC)
The user is not in a queue of any kind (limited by license)
The user has a Genesys extension, no DID
- The user is in a Group that has a DID
When the user is forwarded queue calls - her physical/polycom phone will ring; no indication of a call on the Genesys web app - no call control panel
Because there is no call control panel for the incoming call, she is forced to use her hardware/polycom phone to transfer the call, again, to her colleague, when another transfer is required
If a direct call comes into her Group, the call control panel appears in the web app as well as rings her physical phone
Any thoughts on why the calls transferred from a queue come in without the call control panel in the web app? Thanks, in advance.
