Just want to first say hi to everyone, I'm new to using Vapi and all the automations.
I just started a week ago and I'm creating an outbound agent that can book appointments, and not too worried about double bookings right now although planning on adding it for the future.
Problem #1
I can get through a whole conversation somewhat fluently and it asks all the right questions, but I have to ask the agent to execute the webhook for it to work.
In my prompt I have this to try to get the agent to do it on its own "- Once you get the information from the information questions, execute the "Booking_babes" (
name of webhook) function immediately to the webhook." but I've never it execute on it's own.
Problem #2
and on a side note I'm using open ai's gpt api (gpt 4o mini) to translate into a readable format for google cal and I can't get it to book the right time slot. This is my prompt for that "Format '{{1.message.toolCallList[].function.arguments.
Date and time
}}' into a formal date/time using {{now}} and include both date and time. Return only the formatted result and format it with the timezone CST but don't put CST."
I am open to calls or dm's, will provide whole prompt or whatever info if needed!😇
