Can anyone help me modify this call to do that?

### Answer To limit the call duration to 5 minutes (300 seconds) and insert variable JSON data, you can modify your cURL request as follows:

Copy code

bash
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.vapi.ai/call/phone \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer xxxxxx' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "phoneNumberId": "xx",
    "assistantId": "xxx",
    "type": "outboundPhoneCall",
    "maxDurationSeconds": 300,
    "customer": {
        "number": "+1719xxxxxxxx",
        "metadata": {
            "firstName": "{{first name}}",
            "lastName": "{{last name}}"
        }
    }
}'

In this modification, the

"maxDurationSeconds": 300

line specifies the call duration limit to 5 minutes.

metadata

under

customer

is added to insert variable data such as

firstName

and

lastName

. Replace

{{first name}}

and

{{last name}}

with the actual first and last names you want to use [(1)]() .
