I am building a squad on the Vapi dashboard but I don't see a way to pass dynamic variables to the squad before calling it. Is this possible?

I understand you're trying to pass custom variableValues to a squad in the Vapi web dashboard. Based on the available documentation, I can see that variableValues are used to personalize messages and prompts in Vapi, and they're typically passed via
assistantOverrides
when making API/SDK calls. However, I don't have specific information about how to do this directly through the web dashboard interface for squads. Are you looking to pass these variables through the dashboard UI itself, or would you be open to implementing this programmatically through the API/SDK?

I was hoping to pass them into the dashboard UI so I could test on the web

You can't pass dynamic variables to a squad directly via the Vapi dashboard, but you can do it using the API or tools like Make.com by triggering squad calls with variables included in the request.

Okay, that's what I thought. I'm passing them in from my Express server. It would be nice if that was built-in to the dashboard.

Hopefully in future
