Call Transfer Settings
Transfer Timeout
When transferring calls to staff, Maple uses a 25-second timeout to determine if the transfer was successful. If the call isn’t answered within this timeframe, it routes back to the AI.The 25-second timeout is optimized to prevent carrier auto-responses and voicemail systems from marking the call as complete, which would prevent it from routing back to the AI.
SMS Notifications for Missed Transfers
When a transferred call isn’t answered, Maple automatically sends an SMS notification to alert staff about the missed call. Number Priority:- SMS number (if configured in dashboard)
- Handoff number (fallback if no SMS number provided)
- Maple checks the line type before sending SMS
- Text messages are not sent to landlines
- Only valid mobile numbers receive notifications
