Attended transfer is one that waits during incoming calls to end a call until it is answered, rejected or missed by another agent. Your agents don't have to make your customers wait unnecessarily. The caller is suspended and the connection is established with the agent. If the agent fails to answer, the call is returned to the previous agent.
