Based on the available sources, I don't have specific documentation on built-in date validation or format enforcement for date of birth verification in Retell AI.
However, here are some approaches you can consider:
1. Use prompt instructions to enforce format
You can tell the agent in your prompt how to format dates and give an example. [(1) ](
)
For instance, specify in your prompt:
- The exact format you expect (e.g., "MM/DD/YYYY")
- Ask the agent to repeat back the date in a specific format for confirmation
- Instruct the agent to clarify ambiguous inputs (e.g., "Did you mean March 5th or May 3rd?")
2. Use a Custom Function for validation
You can create a custom function that validates the date format against your expected pattern before accepting it. This would allow you to programmatically check if the spoken date matches your required format. [(2) ](

*3. Consider using User Keypad Input (DTMF) *
For critical data like date of birth, you might want to use the keypad input feature to have users enter their DOB numerically, which improves accuracy.
