Hi dehydrated, If you're experiencing issues with outbound calls dropping immediately after transfer, you can follow these steps to troubleshoot the problem: 1. Verify Forwarding Initiation: Use the Vapi API to check if the call forwarding was successfully initiated. You can do this by retrieving the call information using the call ID:
Copy code
bash
   curl -X GET "https://api.vapi.ai/call/{call_id}" \
   -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json"
2. Check `endedReason`**:** Look for the
endedReason
in the API response. -
"assistant-forwarded-call"
indicates successful initiation. If the call still drops after this, it often points to telephony provider issues. - Any other
endedReason
suggests a potential configuration issue. 3. Assistant Configuration: Ensure the
serverMessages
in your assistant's configuration doesn't include
"phone-call-control"
unless you have custom call logic, and
phoneCallProviderBypassEnabled
is
false
for Vapi-managed transfers. 4. Verify Call Logs with Provider: If the Vapi call shows it forwarded successfully, inspect call logs at your telephony provider (like Twilio, Vonage, or Telnyx) for errors using the
phoneCallProviderId
. 5. SIP-Based Issues: If applicable, use Wireshark to check SIP packets: - Filter for
"REFER"
packets to confirm whether the transfer request was sent. - Look for any error responses from the SIP provider in response to the REFER packet. 6. Check the Destination Number: Ensure the destination number has the correct format, includes the country code, and is capable of receiving calls without blocks. If setup issues persist, review these resources: - [Debugging Call Forwarding Drops](https://docs.vapi.ai/phone-calling/transfer-calls/debug-forwarding-drops) - [Call Ended Reasons](https://docs.vapi.ai/calls/call-ended-reason) This should help you identify and resolve the issue with your call forwarding setup.
