Quick Reference
default_xfer_group
What Default Transfer Group Does
Defines the default inbound group that calls are transferred to when an agent initiates a transfer without explicitly selecting a destination. This simplifies agent workflow for operations with a single closer team or standard transfer destination.
Recommended Configuration
| Center Size | Recommended Value | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 10–25 Agents | Set to primary closer inbound group | Start conservative, monitor for 48 hours before adjusting |
| 25–100 Agents | Set to primary closer inbound group | Scale gradually — larger operations amplify effects of misconfiguration |
| 100–500 Agents | Set to primary closer inbound group | Consult ViciStack optimization team for enterprise-scale tuning |
