@AI Evy can cold transfer with sip REFER pass the users number?

Thanks for tagging me @K Rudy. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.
### Answer Yes, cold transfer with SIP REFER can pass the user's number, but it depends on your telephony provider's support. [(1) ]() [(2) ]() When you configure caller ID for a cold transfer, you can choose "User's Number" so the transfer destination sees the original caller's number instead of the Retell agent's number. However, for SIP REFER specifically, it's up to the telephony provider to support caller ID override for SIP REFER. Your telephony provider must support SIP REFER and PSTN transfer with the transferee's number showing as caller ID. [(1) ]() Provider-specific support: - Retell Twilio numbers support showing the user's number on both warm and cold transfer [(1) ]() [(2) ]() - Retell Telnyx numbers only support this when using SIP REFER via cold transfer If caller ID override is not supported by your provider, the transfer will fail.

@AI Evy how do i know if my twilio number are passing the users numbers on cold sip refer? there is no way to see it on Retell

Thanks for the follow-up, @K Rudy. I'll get back to you soon.
### Answer To verify whether your Twilio numbers are passing the user's number on cold SIP REFER transfers, you'll need to check Twilio's call logs rather than Retell's dashboard. When using cold transfer with SIP REFER, Retell sets the
from
and
P-Asserted-Identity
headers to the user's number [(1) ]() . For cold transfer specifically, it's up to the telephony provider to support caller ID override for SIP REFER . How to verify: 1. Check Twilio's call logs - Look at the call details for transferred calls in your Twilio console. The logs should show what caller ID was presented to the transfer destination. 2. Test with a known number - Make a test call and transfer it to a number you control. Check what caller ID appears on the receiving end. 3. Review Twilio's SIP trunk configuration - Ensure your Twilio elastic SIP trunk is configured to allow SIP REFER and PSTN transfers with caller ID override enabled. The documentation confirms that Retell Twilio numbers support showing the user's number on both warm and cold transfer , but the actual caller ID presentation depends on Twilio's handling of the SIP REFER request with the headers Retell provides.

@AI Evy what was the dynamiv variable to check date and time live in the call?

​ To learn more, see the sources I considered: [[1] Dynamic Variables](https://docs.retellai.com/build/dynamic-variables) ​
### Answer To check the current date and time live during a call, use the
{{current_time}}
dynamic variable. [(1) ]() By default,
{{current_time}}
returns the current time in
America/Los_Angeles
timezone (for example: "Thursday, March 28, 2024 at 11:46:04 PM PST") . For different timezones: You can specify a timezone using
{{current_time_[timezone]}}
. For example,
{{current_time_Australia/Sydney}}
would give you the time in Sydney. Additional time-related variables: -
{{current_hour}}
- Returns the current hour as a fraction in
America/Los_Angeles
-
{{current_hour_[timezone]}}
- Current hour in a specified timezone -
{{current_calendar}}
- Provides a 14-day calendar in
America/Los_Angeles
-
{{current_calendar_[timezone]}}
- 14-day calendar in a specified timezone These are system default variables that require no configuration and are automatically available during calls.

@AI Evy was the enable speech normalization removed?
a
Thanks for the follow-up, @K Rudy. I'll get back to you soon.
### Answer I don't have information about the "enable speech normalization" feature or whether it was removed based on the available sources. The sources provided focus on ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) concepts and transcription issues, but don't mention a specific "enable speech normalization" setting. To get accurate information about this feature, I recommend: - Checking the [Retell AI Documentation]() - Contacting a [certified Retell partner]() Would you like a general answer based on my knowledge instead?

@AI Evy how can i make the agent check current time onAmerica/New_York timezone
a
Thanks for the follow-up, @K Rudy. I'll get back to you soon.
### Answer To make your agent check the current time in the America/New_York timezone, use the dynamic variable
{{current_time_America/New_York}}
[(1) ]() [(2) ]() . You can use this variable in: - Agent prompts [(1) ]() - Begin message - Tool configurations - Call handling settings For example, in your prompt you could include:
Copy code
The current time in New York is {{current_time_America/New_York}}
This will automatically populate with the current time in the America/New_York timezone during the call [(1) ]() [(2) ]() . Additional time-related variables for America/New_York: -
{{current_hour_America/New_York}}
- Current hour as a fraction [(1) ]() -
{{current_calendar_America/New_York}}
- 14-day calendar in that timezone These are system default variables that require no configuration .
