Inbound Call fail
# support
e
I connected one of my assistants to a phone number that I imported from Twilio. Now when I’m trying to call this number to test the inbound agent it says: thank you for call. configure your numbers voice URL to change this message. Why is this happening? What is causing this and what do I have to do?

@Exideus_Systems It sounds like the phone number you imported from Twilio is still using the default Twilio message, which indicates that the number's voice URL hasn't been configured to point to your assistant. To resolve this, you need to update the voice URL for your Twilio number to the URL provided by the VAPI service where your assistant is hosted. Here's what you need to do: 1. Log in to your Twilio account. 2. Navigate to the 'Phone Numbers' section. 3. Click on the phone number you imported. 4. Find the 'Voice & Fax' settings. 5. In the 'A CALL COMES IN' section, input the URL provided by VAPI that points to your assistant. 6. Save the changes. This will ensure that when a call comes in to your Twilio number, it will be directed to your VAPI assistant, and the assistant will handle the call according to your configuration. If you need further assistance with the URL or the setup process, please ask support for more info on this.
You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.

OK, I followed the steps but now after the phone is ringing, I got the message: we are sorry an application error has occurred.

@Exideus_Systems Receiving an "application error" message after setting up your Twilio number to connect with your assistant indicates there might be an issue with the webhook URL or the application logic that handles the incoming calls. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot this issue: 1. **Check the Webhook URL**: Ensure that the webhook URL you provided in Twilio's 'A CALL COMES IN' setting is correct and corresponds to the VAPI service where your assistant is hosted. 2. **Review Application Logs**: Check the logs in your VAPI service to see if there are any errors when Twilio sends a request to your assistant. This can give you insights into what might be going wrong. 3. **Twilio Debugger**: Use Twilio's debugger to get more detailed information about the error. Twilio's debugger will provide logs for the failed request and often includes an error code and a description that can help diagnose the issue. 4. **Check for Configuration Errors**: Ensure that all necessary configurations are correctly set up in your VAPI service, including any required authentication or specific request formats that Twilio expects. 5. **Test the Assistant Independently**: If possible, test the assistant's functionality independently of Twilio to ensure that it's working as expected. 6. **Contact Support**: If you've gone through these steps and are still encountering issues, it may be best to contact VAPI support for further assistance. If you need help reviewing the logs or accessing the Twilio debugger, please let me know, and I can assist you further. If the issue persists, please ask support for more info on this.

I don’t know. I’m really disappointed now because I can’t fix it. I’m doing everything you’re telling me to do, but it’s still not working and telling me that there is an application error occurring.

@Exideus_Systems I understand that this can be quite frustrating. Dealing with technical issues can often be challenging, but don't worry, we'll work through this together. Since you've already checked the webhook URL and are still experiencing issues, it might be best to involve the support team who can take a closer look at your specific setup. They have the tools and access needed to diagnose and resolve complex issues that may not be apparent from the outside. Please reach out to the VAPI support team with the following information: - The exact error message you're receiving. - The time and date when you encountered the error. - Any relevant logs from your VAPI service or Twilio's debugger. The support team will be able to guide you through the process and help identify the root cause of the application error. They are experienced in handling such situations and will work with you to get your assistant up and running. Remember, it's important to provide as much detail as possible to the support team to expedite the troubleshooting process. If there's anything else I can do to assist you in the meantime, please let me know.

Where do I find the URL that has to be configured to create a opportunity for an inbound call which you RL has to be installed and configured in Twilio
v
@Exideus_Systems The URL that needs to be configured in Twilio for inbound calls is typically the endpoint provided by your Voice API (VAPI) service where your voice application or assistant is hosted. This URL is responsible for handling incoming calls and must be set in your Twilio number's configuration. Here's how you can find and configure the URL: 1. **Voice Application Endpoint**: Check your VAPI service where your assistant is hosted. There should be a section for endpoints or webhooks that provides the URL to be used for incoming calls. 2. **Documentation**: Refer to the documentation provided by your VAPI service. It often includes instructions on how to find the webhook URL or endpoint for handling calls. 3. **VAPI Dashboard**: If your service has a dashboard, log in and look for a section related to voice settings or integrations. The URL might be listed there. 4. **Support or Help Center**: If you're unable to find the URL, you can contact the support team of your VAPI service or check their help center for guidance. Once you have the URL: - Log in to your Twilio account. - Go to the 'Phone Numbers' section and click on the number you want to configure. - Find the 'Voice & Fax' settings. - Paste the URL into the 'A CALL COMES IN' field. - Save your changes. This will direct Twilio to send incoming call requests to your VAPI service, which will handle the calls according to your assistant's configuration. If you're unsure about any of these steps or need further assistance, please reach out to your VAPI service's support team for more detailed guidance.

What do you mean with where my assistant is hosted? Could you answer me in German language?

@Exideus_Systems Natürlich, ich erkläre es Ihnen gerne auf Deutsch. Mit "wo Ihr Assistent gehostet wird" meine ich den Server oder den Dienst im Internet, auf dem Ihr Sprachassistent läuft. Dies ist der Ort, an dem die Software Ihres Assistenten installiert ist und von dem aus sie auf Anrufe reagieren kann. Für Ihren Assistenten, der über die Voice API (VAPI) funktioniert, gibt es eine spezifische URL, die als Endpunkt für eingehende Anrufe dient. Um eingehende Anrufe über Twilio zu Ihrem Assistenten zu leiten, müssen Sie diese URL in den Einstellungen Ihrer Twilio-Telefonnummer angeben. Sie finden diese URL normalerweise im Dashboard Ihres VAPI-Dienstes oder in der Dokumentation, die zu Ihrem Assistenten gehört. Wenn Sie weitere Unterstützung benötigen, um diese URL zu finden oder wenn Sie andere Fragen haben, zögern Sie bitte nicht, den Support Ihres VAPI-Dienstes zu kontaktieren. Sie können Ihnen spezifische Anweisungen geben, wie Sie Ihren Assistenten richtig einrichten.

you have to attach assistant to the phone number and then it will work.

Thank you for your help. I solved it yesterday. I had to change the URL inside of Twilio. I was just a little confused because I was working with synthflow before and there I didn’t have to go inside of 12 to put in this URL. It was automatically done.
s
Vapi does the same, but your previous URL was not removed so it failed.
e
Also, let’s say this number was connected to synthflow before and now I’m connecting it to vapi … so I need to go inside of Twilio to change it? I thought that if I detached the number from the Assistant that I had before it’s automatically done
s
No Twilio won't remove it by itself so you have to remove previous url from twilio.

Hey guys, which url is meant by URL provided by VAPI
v
@Mikail Die URL, die von VAPI bereitgestellt wird, ist der Webhook-Endpunkt, der für die Verarbeitung eingehender Anrufe über Ihre Twilio-Telefonnummer verwendet wird. Diese URL ist Teil Ihrer VAPI-Konfiguration und dient als Schnittstelle zwischen Twilio und Ihrem Sprachassistenten, der über VAPI läuft. Wenn Sie eine Telefonnummer von Synthflow zu VAPI umziehen, müssen Sie die Webhook-URL in den Twilio-Einstellungen manuell aktualisieren, um auf den VAPI-Endpunkt zu verweisen. Twilio entfernt oder ändert nicht automatisch die konfigurierte URL, wenn Sie eine Nummer von einem Dienst zu einem anderen verschieben. Sie müssen dies selbst in Ihrem Twilio-Dashboard tun, indem Sie die alte URL löschen und die neue URL von VAPI einfügen. Wenn Sie Unterstützung benötigen, um die spezifische URL von VAPI zu finden, sollten Sie die Dokumentation Ihres VAPI-Dienstes konsultieren oder den Support kontaktieren, um die genaue URL zu erhalten, die Sie in Twilio eintragen müssen.

wo finde ich die URL von vapi die ich bei twilio eintragen muss
v
@Mikail Um die URL von VAPI zu finden, die Sie in Twilio eintragen müssen, sollten Sie die folgenden Schritte ausführen: 1. **VAPI-Dashboard**: Melden Sie sich bei Ihrem VAPI-Dienst an und gehen Sie zum Dashboard, wo Sie Ihren Sprachassistenten verwalten. 2. **Assistenten-Einstellungen**: Suchen Sie nach den Einstellungen oder Konfigurationen Ihres Assistenten. Dort sollten Sie Informationen zu Webhooks oder Endpunkten finden. 3. **Webhook-URL**: Innerhalb der Einstellungen sollte eine Webhook-URL oder ein ähnlicher Endpunkt aufgeführt sein, der für eingehende Anrufe verwendet wird. Diese URL ist es, die Sie in Twilio eintragen müssen. 4. **Dokumentation**: Wenn Sie die URL nicht direkt im Dashboard finden können, überprüfen Sie die Dokumentation Ihres VAPI-Dienstes, die oft Anweisungen enthält, wie und wo Sie die Webhook-URL finden können. 5. **Support kontaktieren**: Sollten Sie weiterhin Schwierigkeiten haben, die URL zu finden, zögern Sie nicht, den Support Ihres VAPI-Dienstes zu kontaktieren. Sie können Ihnen die genaue URL geben und weitere Anweisungen zur Konfiguration bieten. Sobald Sie die URL haben, gehen Sie zu Ihrem Twilio-Konto und aktualisieren Sie die Einstellungen Ihrer Telefonnummer, indem Sie die neue VAPI-URL in das Feld für eingehende Anrufe ('A CALL COMES IN') eintragen. Speichern Sie die Änderungen, um die Konfiguration abzuschließen.
