Redirect calls to other employees

In Bitrix24, you can redirect incoming calls to other employees and departments. Call forwarding is available in the browser, Bitrix24 desktop app and on the phone.


How to redirect incoming calls in browser and desktop app

Click the arrow button in the call form. The call forwarding window opens, where you can redirect the call to an employee or a group of telephony users.

Configure queue groups

Redirect a call to another employee. Select Recent or Departments in the call form to redirect a call to another employee.

  • Recent — the employee can be found by first or last name in the list.
  • Departments — the employee can be found in the company structure.

Click on the employee's name. Select Internal call to redirect a call within Bitrix24. You can also select Mobile phone forwarding.

Call forwarding to a mobile phone is an outgoing call from the account, so it will be charged as an outgoing call. To redirect a call, the mobile number should be specified in the employee's profile form.

Redirect a call to a telephony user group. Select the group to which you want to redirect the call.

After selecting an employee or a group in the call form, click Redirect. There are two modes of redirection: blind forwarding and redirection with prior consultation.

Blind forwarding. The first employee's call will end as soon as the second employee picks up the phone. To avoid waiting, press Redirect again - then your call will end.The client will wait for the second employee to answer. If the second employee does not answer, the call will end.

Redirection with prior consultation. The company member will be able to redirect information to another employee before the conversation with the customer begins. The customer is listening to a ringtone at this time. Press Redirect again to have the customer continue the conversation with the second company member.

How to redirect incoming calls on the phone

If a SIP-phone is connected, the call can be redirected to another employee using the internal number. Check that the extension number is specified in the employee's profile.

Calls to extension numbers

General redirection instructions:

  1. Start call redirection on the device. Each device has its own key combinations for it. Follow the instruction for your device.
  2. Enter the employee's extension number.
  3. Speak to the employee, for example, let him/her know that the call is being redirected. The customer will not hear the conversation.
  4. Confirm the call redirection.
  5. Hang up the phone.
Bitrix24 Support team does not configure phones, so there is no single instruction for the redirection. Please check the combinations of buttons for redirecting and holding a call with the device manufacturer or in the manual.
