How can I grab this number, and save it as a variable for webhook requests?

@frank To grab a number and save it as a variable for webhook requests, you would typically need to extract the number from a given input (such as user speech, text, or another data source) and then store it in a variable that can be used in the payload of your webhook request. Here's a general approach to achieve this: 1. **Extract the Number**: Depending on the source, you may need to use different methods to extract the number. For voice inputs, you might use speech recognition to convert speech to text and then parse the text for numbers. For text inputs, you can use regular expressions or string parsing methods to find the number. 2. **Store the Number**: Once you have the number, you can store it in a variable. In most programming languages, this is as simple as assigning the number to a variable name. 3. **Use the Variable in Webhook Request**: When constructing your webhook request, you can include the variable in the JSON payload or as a query parameter, depending on the API's requirements. If you can provide more context or specify the source from which you need to grab the number, I can give you a more detailed and tailored explanation.

can you give me a sample payload for post https://api.vapi.ai/call @Vapi that includs the user's phone numbher

@frank Certainly! Below is a sample JSON payload for a POST request to

https://api.vapi.ai/call

that includes the user's phone number. Please note that you will need to replace the placeholder values with actual data relevant to your use case.

json
{
  "customerId": "unique-customer-id",
  "customer": {
    "number": "user-phone-number",
    "name": "user-name",
    "extension": "user-extension"
  },
  "phoneNumberId": "associated-phone-number-id",
  "phoneNumber": {
    "twilioPhoneNumber": "twilio-phone-number",
    "twilioAccountSid": "twilio-account-sid",
    "twilioAuthToken": "twilio-auth-token",
    "name": "phone-number-name",
    "assistantId": "twilio-assistant-id"
  }
}

Here's a breakdown of the fields: - `customerId`: A unique identifier for the customer. - `customer.number`: The user's phone number that you want to include in the call. - `customer.name`: The name of the user. - `customer.extension`: If applicable, the extension number for the user. - `phoneNumberId`: An identifier for the phone number used to make the call. - `phoneNumber.twilioPhoneNumber`: The Twilio phone number used to make the call. - `phoneNumber.twilioAccountSid`: Your Twilio Account SID. - `phoneNumber.twilioAuthToken`: Your Twilio Auth Token. - `phoneNumber.name`: A name for the phone number. - `phoneNumber.assistantId`: The Twilio Assistant ID if you are using Twilio Autopilot. Make sure to replace the placeholder text (like

user-phone-number

,

unique-customer-id

, etc.) with actual values before making the request. Also, ensure that you have the necessary authentication tokens and permissions to use the API.

and how can i store customer's number as a variable @Vapi

@frank To store a customer's number as a variable for use in a webhook request or any other kind of API call, you would typically do this within the code of your application. Here's an example in JavaScript:

javascript
// Assuming you have the customer's number from an input or another part of your application
let customerNumber = '123-456-7890'; // Replace with the actual customer number

// Now you can use this variable in your payload for the POST request
let payload = {
  customerId: "unique-customer-id", // Replace with actual customer ID
  customer: {
    number: customerNumber, // Using the variable here
    // ... other customer details
  },
  // ... other payload details
};

// When you're ready to make the POST request, you would use the payload variable
// For example, using fetch to make the request in a Node.js environment
fetch('https://api.vapi.ai/call', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    // ... any other headers like authentication tokens
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(payload),
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch((error) => console.error('Error:', error));

In this example,

customerNumber

is the variable that holds the customer's phone number. You can then use this variable to construct your JSON payload for the POST request to the API endpoint. Remember to replace the placeholder values with actual data and ensure that you handle the customer's personal information securely and in compliance with relevant data protection laws.

@frank checkout this document on setting up dynamic variables, now when Vapi will send request to your server (in-doc-context) you also get the call object as payload. Inside call object you will find the phone number required. https://www.notion.so/vapi/Setting-Up-Dynamic-Variables-for-Your-Vapi-Calls-A-Quick-Guide-140008c8393f8057ac24db4089edc466
