Hi , i want to inject a data (call sid) to assistant after creating outbound call. what is the best approach? updating call or call control?

@mehdi Hello! To inject data such as a Call SID into an assistant after creating an outbound call, the best approach would typically be to use call control. Call control allows you to manipulate the call in progress and can be used to pass additional data to the assistant handling the call. If you have the necessary endpoint or method to update the call with additional data, you can use that to send the Call SID to the assistant. If you need further assistance with the specific API call or method to achieve this, please let me know, and I'll be happy to help!

thanks , how to silently inject data to assistant ? what should be the payload ? @Vapi

@mehdi To silently inject data into your assistant, you would typically use the

assistantOverride

object within your API request payload. This allows you to pass additional context or information without it being part of the voice interaction. Here's an example of what your JSON payload might look like:

json
{
  "assistantId": "your-assistant-id",
  "assistantOverride": {
    "context": {
      "session": {
        "attributes": {
          "callSid": "your-call-sid"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

In this payload, you replace

your-assistant-id

with the actual ID of your assistant and

your-call-sid

with the Call SID you want to inject. This data will then be accessible to the assistant during the call handling process. Please ensure that the structure of the

assistantOverride

object and the way you pass the Call SID align with the specific requirements of your Voice API. If you need more detailed instructions or if there's a specific API you're working with, let me know, and I can provide more tailored guidance.
