To diagnose why your call transfer is failing, first check the
endedReason
for your call using the Vapi API. Run the following command (replace
{call_id}
and
YOUR_API_KEY
):
Copy code
bash
curl -X GET "https://api.vapi.ai/call/{call_id}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"
If the
endedReason
is not
assistant-forwarded-call
, review your assistant's configuration—ensure
phoneCallProviderBypassEnabled
is set to
false
and remove
"phone-call-control"
from
serverMessages
if present. This will help you pinpoint if the issue is with your configuration or the telephony provider. For more details, see the [Debug call forwarding drops guide](https://docs.vapi.ai/phone-calling/transfer-calls/debug-forwarding-drops).

There is no property named as { "phoneCallProviderBypassEnabled": false } @Vapi Support Bot

It looks like the
phoneCallProviderBypassEnabled
property is not a direct setting in the dashboard UI, but is part of the transfer tool's configuration when defined via API or JSON. To ensure your call transfer works, make sure your transfer tool includes the required
destination
parameter, like this:
Copy code
json
"parameters": {
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "destination": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": ["+1234567890"], // Replace with your target number in E.164 format
      "description": "The destination to transfer the call to."
    }
  },
  "required": ["destination"]
}
Also, remove
"phone-call-control"
from your assistant's
serverMessages
if present. This should resolve most transfer issues. For more, see the [call forwarding guide](https://docs.vapi.ai/call-forwarding).
