Assistant won't call tool
# support
b
My prompt specifically instructs the assistant to call a tool to lookup user details in my CRM. The tool is supposed to call a scenario on Make but it never runs. Here is a call id: 35c07f31-a8e1-4cf7-b98d-0f2a7a48340c

@BrentPope I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the tool integration. To assist you effectively, I would need to have access to the specific tool that looks up user details in your CRM and triggers the scenario on Make. Since I don't have that information or the capability to call external tools directly, I recommend reaching out to your CRM support team or the support for the Make integration to troubleshoot this issue. If there's anything else I can help you with regarding the VAPI or any other queries, please let me know!
You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.

the problem is not with Make or my CRM. Vapi never invokes the tool

Copy code
{
  "name": "GetUserDetailsByName",
  "async": false,
  "parameters": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "FullName": {
        "type": "string",
        "description": "User's name"
      }
    }
  },
  "description": "Get user details from our CRM by name"
}
the above function is linked with your assistant and if i am not wrong the tool name
GetUserDetailsByName
was neveer called inside your prompt.
Please explicilty call your tool by name inside your prompt.
