@Shmiggy Hello! Yes, VAPI assistants have the capability to automatically capture the caller's phone number. This feature is typically known as Caller ID, and it allows the assistant to retrieve the phone number of the incoming call without the need to ask the caller. This information can be used within your voice application to personalize the conversation or for logging purposes. If you need to access this feature or have any specific questions on how to implement it in your VAPI assistant, please let me know, and I'll be happy to assist you further!

@Shmiggy To set up your VAPI assistant to automatically capture the caller's phone number, you'll need to ensure that your voice application is configured to access and store this information. Here's a general outline of the steps you might follow: 1. **Access the Dashboard**: Make sure you're in the 'Assistants' dashboard tab. 2. **Create a New Assistant**: Click the 'create new assistant' button to begin the assistant creation flow. 3. **Choose a Template**: In the pop-up modal, select the 'Blank Template' option to start from a blank slate. 4. **Configure Caller ID Retrieval**: Within your assistant's settings or call flow design, look for an option to enable Caller ID or automatic phone number capture. This might be a setting you can enable, or you may need to use a specific API call within your assistant's logic. 5. **Handle the Captured Number**: Decide how you want to use the captured phone number. You might store it in a variable, use it to look up user information, or log it for analytics purposes. 6. **Test Your Assistant**: Make sure to test your assistant to ensure that the phone number is being captured correctly during a call. If you need more detailed instructions or if there's a specific part of the setup process you're unsure about, please let me know, and I'll provide further assistance!
@Shmiggy Please ask support for more info on this.
@Shmiggy I'm here to help you with any questions or issues you might have. If you're looking for more detailed assistance or if the feature you're asking about is not clearly documented, it would be best to reach out directly to the support team of your VAPI provider. They would have the most accurate and up-to-date information on the capabilities of their system and how to implement them. Unfortunately, as a text-based assistant, I'm unable to tag a real person or connect you directly with a live support agent. However, you can typically contact support through the provider's official website, customer support email, or by phone. If you tell me which VAPI provider you're using, I can guide you on how to get in touch with their support team.
