Conversation with a voice server that cuts out aft...
# support

Hello. I imported a number from Twilio and created a wizard designed to chat with a French customer service. The AI is supposed to type on the keyboard to navigate the SAV server. I launch the outbound call from the Vapi interface. The call is disconnected after 25 seconds on the dot. In the recording, we hear the voice server ask you to type 1 or 2, then say that no key has been typed and to start again (the call cuts off in the middle of a sentence). I've tried several times, and it's always the same thing. In the logs, the reason for disconnecting the call is "the customer did not answer". However, the assistant is configured to wait a maximum of 6000 seconds, not after 25 seconds... ID : 906d38b8-a85b-4df7-9109-2c36ca361052 Thanks for your assistance.

Hi @Théo D, I'm an AI assistant for Vapi. I'll analyze available sources and get back to you shortly.

### Answer It appears that the issue you are encountering with the call disconnecting prematurely might be related to how the assistant is handling input during the call. The log indicating "the customer did not answer" suggests that the system might be expecting a prompt response which it is not receiving. To address this, you should ensure that the assistant is configured correctly to handle the input types expected by the voice server. This can include configuring the assistant to recognize when to send DTMF (Dual-tone multi-frequency) tones, which simulate the pressing of keys on a phone keypad. You might need to look into the
dialKeypadFunctionEnabled
configuration to ensure it is set to
true
, allowing the assistant to interact with systems that require keypad input. Additionally, check the
firstMessageMode
to ensure the assistant starts the conversation correctly and listens for input properly. For a deeper investigation and adjustment, you might need to modify the assistant settings directly in the Vapi dashboard or via API to ensure it aligns with the requirements of your specific use case [(1)]() . If these adjustments do not resolve the issue, it could be beneficial to review the detailed call logs and settings through the respective endpoints provided in the Vapi documentation [(1)]() [(2)]() . This can provide further insights into what might be causing the premature disconnections and how to adjust the assistant's configurations to prevent it. --- [(1)]() : [Create Phone Call]() [(2)]() : [Get Call](https://docs.v

Interesting, thank you. But I can't find the option on the Vapi dashboard, should I make the call via the API?
s
Yup.

Hello Sahil. Sorry to bother you. Can you check this call please : 285c1994-b346-4cac-9769-0485e8e4371f. I have an "unknown error" issue (with this call and also an other call). I don't know if the call actually worked or no. The AI was supposed to be on a call with a customer service department. I initiated the call from a form on the customer service site. I could see in real time the duration of the call, which apparently exceeded 5 minutes.
@User 🙏

Can you please create another support thread?
