Hi there! Sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with your Vapi agent 🔍 Unfortunately, I can't determine the exact cause of your agent's silence without examining the specific logs, but I can definitely help with potential reasons and troubleshooting steps for both your outbound call and web call testing issues. ## Potential Reasons for Agent Silence There are several possible causes for your agent suddenly stopping working: 1. **OpenAI Model Issues**: According to [information I found](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1339987639088185375), OpenAI models sometimes stop returning responses, causing the agent to be silent. 2. **Telephony Connection Issues**: The call might be connecting, but there could be a handshake issue between the telephony provider and Vapi, preventing the agent from speaking, as mentioned in [this source](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1342074315645915146). 3. **Configuration Errors**: Incorrect settings related to voicemail detection, endpointing, or silence timeouts could be interfering with the call flow, according to [this information](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1344633027925377064). 4. **Transcription Service Issues**: Problems with the transcription service could be preventing proper communication. [Some users](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1334024569861963788) have resolved similar issues by changing from Deepgram to other options like Whisper, Gladia, or Azure. ## Troubleshooting Steps Here are some steps you can take: 1. **Check Logs**: Look for any error messages in your Vapi logs associated with the call ID you provided. 2. **Review Recent Changes**: Even though you mentioned no updates, check for any subtle changes in configuration or dependencies that might have occurred.
3. **Test Different Transcription Service**: Try changing your transcription service from Deepgram to an alternative like Whisper. 4. **Check `endCallFunctionEnabled`**: According to [this source](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1313293840580612166), setting
endCallFunctionEnabled
to true using the dashboard might help. 5. **Use Your Call ID for Debugging**: You can use the call ID you provided (038f4069-ced8-4d9c-afeb-93aef727c174) to check call status updates and logs in the Vapi dashboard. Go to logs > calls in the dashboard to find more details about what happened during that specific call. If these steps don't resolve the issue, I'd recommend contacting Vapi support at support@vapi.ai with your call ID, a description of the expected behavior, and what's actually happening. According to [support information](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1333747605628391434), they can help investigate using your call ID. Is there any specific part of the troubleshooting process you'd like me to elaborate on?

To help track down this issue, could you share one or two: \- When exactly this happened (the timestamp) \- What response you expected to get \- What response you actually got instead This would really help us figure out what went wrong!
