Issue with VAPI Blocks Not Dynamically Sending Val...

VAPI Blocks is unable to dynamically extract values from the conversation and send the input to Make.com or n8n.com when the block is created via the dashboard. However, it works fine when the value is hardcoded through the API. Why is this happening? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1326915267384705095/1326915724656246857/Screenshot_2025-01-09_at_7.39.08_PM.png?ex=67812a11&is=677fd891&hm=54dee100db197d60eca265bef7968f4758973e0c934ce3cf3495c12011c18a6d&

@Ben Franklin It sounds like there might be an issue with the way VAPI Blocks is handling dynamic values when the block is created via the dashboard compared to when it's set up through the API. This could be due to a difference in the configuration or a bug in the dashboard interface. To troubleshoot this issue, you can check the following: 1. **Configuration Consistency**: Ensure that the configuration done via the dashboard matches the one done through the API. Sometimes, certain parameters or settings might not be exposed or might be overlooked in the dashboard. 2. **Dynamic Value Extraction**: Verify that the method used to extract dynamic values during the conversation is set up correctly in the dashboard. There might be additional steps or settings required to enable dynamic value extraction that are not as apparent as when using the API. 3. **Integration Settings**: Double-check the integration settings with Make.com or n8n.com. Ensure that the webhook or equivalent setup is correctly configured to receive dynamic values. 4. **Documentation and Examples**: Review the VAPI Blocks documentation and any provided examples for dynamic value extraction and integration with external services. There might be specific instructions or notes on how to handle this through the dashboard. 5. **Support and Forums**: Look for information on the support forums or contact support directly. There might be known issues or updates that address this discrepancy. If after checking these points the issue persists, it would be best to reach out to the VAPI support team for more detailed assistance. They might need to look into the system logs or the backend to understand why the dynamic extraction works with hardcoded values through the API but not when set up via the dashboard. Please let me know if you would like me to assist you further with this issue!

@Ben Franklin Blocks are not yet ready for production or development use, so you'll need to use the assistant for now.
