Dynamic Call Forwarding
# supports

04/10/2024, 6:08 PMHello everyone, I have a question. Has anyone achieved dynamic call forwarding? For example, I have a bunch of phone numbers and I want to forward them dynamically. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this?

04/10/2024, 7:44 PMI saw this property in the create assistant endpoint, but my use case involves retrieving specific data, which includes phone numbers, from a vector database. I want to forward the call to respective phone numbers which I received from query.
Considering I have almost 100+ numbers, using forwardingPhoneNumbers doesn't seem feasible to me. So, is there an alternative or a way to achieve this?

04/24/2024, 9:31 PMhello Abed. First you have to update your assistant with the number you want to forward to.
{
"forwardingPhoneNumbers": [
{
"number": "+17775551212",
"message": "Hello, world!"
},
{
"number": "+17775551212",
"message": "Hello again!"
}
]
}

04/24/2024, 9:32 PMAnd then I was told that you have to reference these forwarding numbers in your prompt and instruct the assistant on when/how to use them at the time of using the transfer function.

04/24/2024, 9:33 PMNo problem. If you find the fix for the prompt and how to select each one please let me know.

04/24/2024, 9:51 PM@SANAVA I tried the following but unfortunately it didn't work.
- if yes, you will forward the call to number +155512126433. use the transferCall function.

04/24/2024, 9:52 PMVapi support provided this - You can provide all the possible numbers at the start of the call on which you want to forward, and instruct the Language Learning Model (LLM) to determine the appropriate forwarding number based on certain conditions being met.

04/26/2024, 1:59 PMCan you setup multiple forwarding numbers in the UI

Sahil
04/26/2024, 2:53 PMNo. You need to use API for that
