Transfer Call Tool is not forwarding correctly to ...
# support
e
I have a custom tool set up to forward calls via an extension. As of this week the tool no longer forwards to the extension Sample Call IDS: 5ebfadc3-1bfc-464d-a6c2-be082481789e 8bbc920a-0147-4ed9-99ec-3340d503883c My tool ID is f548ea9e-c885-41fd-90af-bd65bdc0239f The call forwards but it never goes to the extension - I last tested about a month ago and it was working correctly. I. tried to delete and remake the tool but it still never forwards Please let me know if theres any other detail i can provide - thanks!

Try updating your Transfer Call Tool configuration to explicitly include the extension, as shown below:
Copy code
json
{
  "type": "number",
  "number": "insert-number-here",
  "extension": "insert-ext",
  "numberE164CheckEnabled": false
}
If the issue persists, check if you have the
phone-call-control
server event enabled—removing it has resolved similar problems for other users. If neither step works, the problem may be due to recent changes in Vapi or your SIP provider, and there is currently no documented fix for this specific issue.

It was done through the VAPI tool builder within the web paltform I can't update it @Vapi Support Bot

There is a known limitation with the VAPI tool builder on the web platform that currently prevents updating or adding fields like the extension in your Transfer Call Tool configuration. Unfortunately, there is no workaround available in the web platform at this time, and this issue is expected to be resolved in a future dashboard update. If you need to update the configuration urgently, you may need to wait for the fix or contact Vapi support for further assistance.

Did you get your number from vapi or you imported a twillio number?

From VAPI @EMMANUEL

Vapi numbers do not support call transfers, so I'll suggest you get a twillio number
