The Transfer to Operator message allows you to transfer the call to a human operator when the flow action has finished.
What is a transfer notification to the operator?
The Transfer to Operator notification can appear when the flow action has finished. It is disabled by default; if you enable it, the call will be transferred to a human operator. Within any decision (quick response, buttons, card notifications) you can enable the Transfer to Operator notification .
This means that when a visitor answers a question in the flow by typing instead of pressing buttons, the message will be forwarded to the operator. This helps you ensure that no important conversations or questions are lost.
Interesting use: A transfer to operator message can also be used in situations where complex technical support is needed. For example, if a customer encounters a technical issue that cannot be resolved using the bot, the message will transfer the call to a technical expert who can provide a customized solution.

Importance of transfer notification to the operator
A transfer to operator message is a very important tool in customer service systems and bots. It allows users to get the support they need when they encounter problems that are not resolved by the bot. This is a critical step in customer service, as it ensures that customers do not feel abandoned.
How does it work?
When a customer contacts customer service via a bot, they go through a series of questions and answers. If the bot fails to provide a satisfactory answer or if the customer requests to speak to a human, a transfer to operator message is triggered. The system recognizes the need and transfers the call to a human operator.
