   1. Choose a Blank Agent or a template and give the AI Bot a name

   2. In Telephony settings click Add a Number and choose “From SIP” then enter the phone number you will be using for this AI Bot
   3. In your SIP settings, choose what Agent will take calls on this number and save. You don't need to change any other settings at this time.
   4. On the Phone Number Details sidebar, copy the SIP Server TCP settings (or TLS settings if you want to use encrypted SIP)

      2. example: sip:sip.rtc.elevenlabs.io:5060;transport=tcp

Setting up an Elevenlabs AI Bot call transfers (via SIP REFER)

1. Login to Elevenlabs and go to your ElevenAgents section with your Agent selected
   1. Go to the Tools page via the left sidebar

      2. Set the Transfer Type to SIP REFER
      3. Set the SIP URI to your DNS Host Name in the Setup Instructions of your SIP Trunk in Genius (previously used when setting up the SIP Trunk in Elevenlabs)
         1. At the beginning of the DNS - add the SIP Protocol and the extension in Genius you would like to transfer to
         2. Example: sip:908701@00005-receptionistagent.us1.trunks.avoxi.com
            1. Note: 908701 here is an extension within Genius the call will be sent to
            2. If you'd like to transfer to a specific number, rather than an extension in Genius, set the SIP URI to sip:[e.164 Number]@avoxi.io instead of the above SIP Trunk - this will transfer the calls through AVOXI's servers and on to the number specified
      4. Do not add Custom SIP Headers, they will be removed when transferring into AVOXI's network
      5. Make sure to add the conditions when you want this transfer to trigger, such as when asking to be escalated
      6. Continue adding and creating additional rules for additional destinations
      7. Save the Transfer to number configuration
      8. Make sure to click Publish in the top-right to make sure these changes are live with your Agent.

2. Call into the number and trigger a transfer and confirm that the call is transferred to the expected destination
