To ensure your assistant is configured properly for outbound calls, you should check the following:
1. **Credentials and Permissions**: Verify that you have the correct API credentials and that your account has permissions to make outbound calls.
2. **API Endpoint**: Confirm that you are using the correct API endpoint for initiating outbound calls as provided by VAPI documentation.
3. **Request Format**: Make sure that your HTTP request to VAPI is structured correctly, including the proper headers, method (POST, GET, etc.), and body content as required by the API.
4. **Number Formatting**: Check that the phone numbers in your Google Sheets are formatted correctly, typically in E.164 format (e.g., +12345678900).
5. **Webhook Configuration**: If VAPI uses webhooks to trigger calls, ensure that the webhook URL is correctly entered in Make and that it's accessible from VAPI's servers.
6. **Error Handling**: Look at the error logs or responses from VAPI when the HTTP request is made. This can provide clues if something is misconfigured.
7. **Test Environment**: If possible, use a test environment to make a sample outbound call without affecting real customers.
8. **Documentation**: Review the VAPI documentation for any specific configuration steps that you might have missed.
If after checking these points you're still facing issues, it might be helpful to reach out to VAPI support directly with details of what you've configured and the problems you're encountering. They can provide more specific guidance based on their system's requirements.
Remember to keep any sensitive information such as API keys or personal phone numbers confidential when seeking support.
