Thanks for your comment. This can be achieved a few ways, one is to use conditional call forwarding (done through your service provider) where the normal number e.g. office landline or mobile forwards the call to your assistant after x amount of rings or outside business hours. This can also be achieved if your business telephone system is VoIP based, can again forward the call onto the assistant at certain times of the day.
Thank you for this video. Great tutorial. There one issue though. You need a phone number for each department. We should be able to just transfer to another agent. Can you do it with this method? Thanks again.
@@SerenityMusicOasis yes absolutely this is possible. You can transfer using squads, where each assistant in a squad can act as a destination to transfer to.
100% Live transfer ability especially with AI powered caller enable you to create teams of specialized assistants and transfer between each during a call.
Great video. I have one issue, in that when replicating this, with just the tranfer to a single number using the function, the call just dropsout/ends after the assistant says 'transferring you now'...I've tried this with both Vonage and Twilio nubers and the same issue....any idea why it is not transferring
When transferring to a single number, try using the inbuilt forwarding function under the "functions" tab in VAPI. This works for single transfers. The function I built works on text conditions to allocate a transfer to specific numbers.
@@jonasmassieAI I tried it the single way first using the inbuilt forwarding function under the "functions" tab in VAPI, but it dropped out after it said 'transferring you...', I thought it might be different once the assistant had the transfer tool configured, but same thing....were you using an Australian number, and if so, was it landline or 04 number, I see that some have different characteristics...
Hi, I'm having the same issue with transferring the call from the built in function. My twilio call just hangs when the assistant announces 'transferrign the call', are the any additional settings to be completed on Twilio? I have UK Twilio number and am trying to transfer to another UK number
if we are agency owner offering inbound calls to fb leads for our clients, how much % we can guarantee and how much over call fee set up we can charge to client on vapi? per month
Depending on your assistant configuration, minute cost will vary. As such it's wise to put margin on top of minute usage, or include avg monthly minute cost on a monthly retainer. For setup fee this can vary on the complexity of the assistant, would be hard to give an exact $
Thanks man. I couldn't find any other videos covering what you did. Really saved me some hours
No worries! Glad I could help :)
Fantastic..ANy chance you are sharing the resource?

@@jonasmassieAI Yes, thank you. I was able to get it working with a Squad. Thanks again ;o)

Arguably one of the most important components of the process
