Capabilities are actions your assistant can perform during phone calls beyond just talking. Think of them as skills you can turn on or off — like transferring calls to a team member or (coming soon) sending text messages. To manage capabilities, go to Assistants, click on your assistant, and open the Capabilities tab.

Available capabilities

Live Call Transfer

Live Call Transfer allows your assistant to connect callers directly to a team member during a call. This is useful when a caller needs to speak with a real person — for example, an existing customer with a specific account question, or a high-value lead ready to close. The capability card shows the current status:
StatusWhat it means
ActiveTransfer is configured with at least one team member assigned
Not configuredTransfer is enabled but no team members are assigned yet
No eligible team membersNo one in your Team Directory has been marked as eligible for transfers
Click on the Live Call Transfer card to open the configuration panel where you can select which team members receive transfers. For a full walkthrough, see Transfer and Fallback Configuration.

Send SMS (Coming Soon)

This capability will allow your assistant to send text messages during calls — for example, sending a confirmation text after booking an appointment, or texting a link to the caller. This feature is not yet available.

How capabilities relate to other settings

Capabilities work together with your other assistant settings:
  • System Prompt — Your assistant’s prompt determines when and how it decides to use a capability. For example, the prompt tells the assistant under what circumstances it should offer a transfer.
  • Questions — Capabilities like Transfer After Qualification rely on the assistant finishing its questions before triggering the transfer.
  • Calendar — Booking appointments is handled through the Calendar tab, not through Capabilities. The two features are independent.

Tips

  • Configure capabilities after setup. During assistant creation, you set up the basics (transfer mode, team members). Use the Capabilities tab afterward to fine-tune who receives transfers and review the status.
  • Check the status regularly. If a team member leaves or changes their phone number, their transfer assignment may stop working. Review the Capabilities tab periodically.
  • More capabilities are coming. VozAgent is actively adding new capabilities. Keep an eye on this tab for new options as they become available.
