Last Updated : Jun 21, 2023 |

About this task

During an active call with the customer, you can make a consultation call to an Avaya Spaces contact. The call with the customer is automatically put on hold, and after the consultation, you can do the following:

  • Resume the conversation with the customer.

  • Transfer the call with the customer to the Avaya Spaces contact. In this case, you drop from the call with the customer, and the Avaya Spaces contact takes over the call.

  • Add the Avaya Spaces contact to the call with the customer. In this case, you initiate a three-way conference with the customer, Avaya Spaces contact, and yourself.

Before you begin
