Consult

This operation is part of the SMS Session API section of the Web Services API.

Overview

This allows an agent to consult with another agent. A consult occurs in the same SMS Session context, but the customer will not be aware of the presence of a consulting agent.

Messages and notification from a consulting agent will only be visible to other agents in the SMS session, not to the customer.

After a consultation has started, the originating agent can either Transfer to the consulting agent or Conference with the consulting agent.

The consulting agent can Leave the SMS session.
