Voice: Transfer (deprecated)

This node is used to transfer an inbound or an outbound call based on the response provided by a customer, either a voice or a number input. If the customer's voice response or the number input is invalid, a voice file can be played asking the customer to try again. You can terminate the call if the customer does not provide any input within the defined time.

Using this node in a voice flow
For example, in a bank, customers call may be transferred to an appropriate department once the customer CRN number is validated through voice response or number input.
