Is there a way for vapi to only transfer callers during specific times? if so how I set this up

I couldn't find enough info to answer your question about restricting call transfers to specific times in Vapi, so I'm escalating this to a human on the team who can help you out! For reference, Vapi does support call forwarding and dynamic call transfers—more details are in the [call forwarding](https://docs.vapi.ai/call-forwarding) and [dynamic call transfers](https://docs.vapi.ai/calls/call-dynamic-transfers) docs—but I didn't see anything about time-based transfer rules. Hang tight, someone will get back to you soon!

Yes, by using a transferCall tool with a webhook that checks the current time and only returns a destination number during your set hours otherwise, it can return an error or alternative message..

is there a simpler way?

Instead of using a webhook to check the time, you can simplify things in Vapi by using its built-in scheduling and transferCall rules to automatically route calls based on business hours. No external logic needed..
