# Call transfer schedule tab

Create and manage team availability schedules used for team-based call transfers.

### **Introduction**

**Call transfer schedule** defines when groups of team members are available to receive transferred calls. By configuring primary and secondary responders along with their availability windows, your business can ensure incoming calls are routed to the appropriate people at the right time.
