Address Book

The Address Book page is where you configure the external transfer destinations available to your agents. When an agent needs to transfer a voice call, SMS, or email interaction, they select from this predefined list in Contact Hub.

To access it, go to Admin > General > Address Book.

For voice transfers, the Address Book gives you additional control beyond a simple transfer destination — you can assign custom result codes to different transfer outcomes and choose how recordings are handled. This lets you track where transfers are succeeding or failing, and investigate specific calls via Recordings Playback or Record History.

You can also mark a voice transfer entry as a Hot Key or Address Book type. Hot Keys are useful in warm/cold transfer setups — for example, when passing a customer from a warmer to a closer and you want to track conversion rates. Address Book entries are used for standard transfers.

Phone entries

Select the Phone tab to view and manage voice transfer destinations.

FieldDescription
Name*The name of the entry, visible to agents in Contact Hub. Must be between 1 and 400 characters.
Phone Number*The number agents will transfer customers to.
DescriptionAn optional description of the transfer destination.
Campaign*The campaign where this entry will be available. Select All to make it available across every campaign, or choose a specific campaign to restrict it.
Conference Result Code*Result code for the conference stage — when the agent, customer, and external party are all connected. If set to Default, uses HKT_WARM for Hot Key entries or BRIDGE_WARM for Address Book entries.
Bridge Result Code*Result code for the bridge stage — the call between the customer and external party after the agent has left. If set to Default, uses HKT_BRIDGE for Hot Key entries or BRIDGE for Address Book entries.
Cancel Result Code*Result code applied if the agent cancels the transfer before it completes. If set to Default, uses HKT_CANCEL for Hot Key entries or CANCEL for Address Book entries.
Hot Key Enabled*When enabled, the bridge call type is set to HotKey. When disabled, it remains as AddressBook. This affects reporting and stats only — it does not change how the transfer behaves.
Recording ConferenceToggle to enable or disable a separate recording entry in Recordings Playback for the conference stage. This does not affect whether the conference is recorded within the agent's own call recording — that is controlled by campaign and user recording settings.
Recording BridgeToggle to enable or disable recording of the bridge stage — the call between the customer and external party after the agent has left.
