Short answer: Yes.

How it works

  • Connect your number to Agents
    • Twilio: Import your Twilio phone number into ElevenLabs, verify it with your Twilio SID/Auth Token, and assign it to an agent. (help.elevenlabs.io)
    • Non‑Twilio: Connect existing numbers via SIP trunking and assign them to agents; porting is not required. (elevenlabs.io)
  • Enable human handoff
    • Add the Transfer to Human system tool (transfer_to_number) to your agent and pre‑configure allowed destination numbers or SIP URIs and the conditions for transfer. Transfers are only available on phone calls (not the chat widget). (elevenlabs.io)
    • Supported transfer methods: Conference transfer (default) or SIP REFER (requires SIP calls and a trunk that permits REFER). You can transfer to external phone numbers (Twilio or SIP trunk) or to SIP URIs. (elevenlabs.io)

Important limitations

  • If you keep full control of Twilio using the Register Call endpoint (i.e., you don’t import the number into ElevenLabs), call transfer is not available. (elevenlabs.io)

Optional contact-center routing

  • If you use Genesys, the integration supports transferring calls back to Genesys to route to specific numbers or queues. (elevenlabs.io)
