assistant ID in the webhook call
# support

I need the assistant ID in the webhook call for correct validation. For the past 30 minutes, it's no longer sending the "id" parameter in the "assistant" section. Does anyone know what's happening or how to fix it?

Hi there! 👋 I understand you're having an issue with the missing "id" parameter in the "assistant" section of webhook calls that was working before but stopped in the last 30 minutes. While I can't pinpoint exactly what changed in the last 30 minutes, I can definitely help with potential causes and troubleshooting steps. Here are some possible reasons for the missing "id" parameter: 1. **Configuration Issues**: There might be an incorrect assistant ID configuration or a temporary service disruption. According to [information from Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1333430620029980682), it's recommended to double-check the ID and ensure it's entered correctly. 2. **Transient Assistant Taking Precedence**: If a "transient assistant" is defined in your JSON payload, it can override the specified assistant ID. The solution is to [remove the
assistant
property from the payload](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1336765707760963676) and only use the
assistantId
. 3. **Webhook Configuration Problems**: Incorrect webhook configuration can cause issues with data transmission, potentially leading to missing parameters in the webhook data. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take: 1. **Check Assistant ID Configuration**: Verify that the [assistant ID is correctly set on your phone number](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1336652401733668864). 2. **Review Recent Changes**: Identify any recent changes that might have affected the webhook functionality. 3. **Access Webhook Delivery Logs**: Check VAPI's webhook delivery logs for insights into the missing 'id' parameter. 4. **Check for Transient Assistant**: If applicable, [remove the
assistant
property from your payload](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1336765707760963676) and only use
assistantId
.
5. **Inspect Network Activity**: Use browser developer tools to check network activity during tool creation to identify any errors. Is there anything specific from these suggestions you'd like me to elaborate on, or do you have any other questions about troubleshooting this issue?

I see the assistant name is provided, but not the id. This looks like a regression.

jmmm, I tested from a different link and it sent me the ID correctly. I don't know what it could be. What do you mean by regression?
