also, for using custom tools, can we pass custom parameters when creating a call?

@Phones.Trade/join To pass call-specific instructions or client details when starting a call, similar to how you would use

additional_instructions

with OpenAI assistants, you would typically include these details in the API request that initiates the call. This can be done by adding a parameter in your API request that contains the instructions or details you want to pass along. For example, if you're using a Voice API, you might have a parameter like

custom_instructions

or

client_details

where you can include the necessary information. The exact parameter name and method of inclusion can vary depending on the API you're using, so you'll want to refer to the API documentation for the specific syntax and guidelines. Here's a hypothetical example of what the API request might look like in JSON format:

json
{
  "phone_number": "+1234567890",
  "message": "Hello, this is your appointment reminder.",
  "custom_instructions": {
    "client_name": "John Doe",
    "appointment_time": "10:00 AM",
    "special_notes": "Client prefers a text reminder as well."
  }
}

In this example,

custom_instructions

is an object that contains the call-specific instructions or client details. When the call is initiated, the Voice API would use these details to tailor the call experience according to the provided instructions. If you're using a specific Voice API and need to know how to include these details for that particular service, please provide the name of the API or any additional context, and I can give you more precise guidance.

Got it. Tagging @User for additional help.

is there such option for VAPI @Vapi ?
