What you need is a transient assistant, which means that whenever a call is made to your number then vapi will collect your assistant configuration from your server URL by making a request to your server URL along with the necessary parameters like their phone number. So, on the basis of their phone number, you can write the logic and modify it.

05/12/2024, 12:01 AMI am having trouble finding how to trigger a function call when someone says their first name. Do we need to add function in the prompt whenever I need a specific answer?
