Transfer to another AI agent is a tool that passes the conversation to another AI agent on the same line. The new agent answers the customer’s same message, in the same chat, and the customer never notices the change.
If you want a person to be notified when the AI hands a conversation to them, see Human handoff notices.
A WhatsApp conversation in Conversations where the customer, after a tyres question, asks whether you sell the TAG for tolls; a transferir_al_especialista tool bubble marked Success is followed by a neutral centred note reading Transferred from Ventas Llantas to Peajes TAG with the reason, and the next AI reply answers the TAG question directly, without a greeting.

A transfer in Conversations: one reply to the customer, and a note for your team

Where it works

What it can do

Split one line between specialists

A tyres agent and a toll-tag agent on the same number, each handing over the other’s topics.

Hand over silently

The new agent answers the same message without greeting and without mentioning the transfer. The customer gets exactly one reply.

Check the topic first

A small AI check confirms the customer’s message matches the destination’s “when” before anything changes.

Undo itself on failure

If the new agent fails before replying, the conversation goes back and the original agent answers.

What it does NOT have

What’s in this section

Create the transfer tool

Destinations, “when” texts, attaching it, and the prompt block that keeps it honest.

How transfers work

Who can receive a transfer, limits, the topic check, reverts and every Conversations note.

The Agent transferred event and why agent filters keep matching after a transfer.

Troubleshooting

It didn’t transfer, it transferred too much, the customer never goes back.

One thing that surprises people

A transfer only goes one way unless you set it up both ways. An agent can only transfer to the destinations listed on the tools it carries. For two agents to pass topics back and forth, attach the same transfer tool to both — an agent never transfers to itself, so it’s safe.

From two agents on one line to a working transfer.
