I've tried pulling in the actual date and time in multiple ways from make.com Like JSON or just plain text. The assistant just can't seem to grasp the actual time. Has anyone found a work around for this? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1372363278600114227/1372363278784659509/image.png?ex=68268066&is=68252ee6&hm=3d152732121bed635688ce5612e6461bb2d7fdac854312c0dafcc3753790a33f&

To ensure your Vapi assistant knows the actual time, add this dynamic variable to your system prompt:

{{ "now" | date: "%b %d, %Y, %I:%M %p", "America/Los_Angeles" }}

Replace the timezone as needed. This will inject the current date and time directly into the assistant's context, making it reliably aware of the actual time in conversations. According to the documentation, this method is effective for resolving time recognition issues.

Add this to your assistant. {{ "now" | date: "%b %d, %Y, %I:%M %p", "America/Los_Angeles" }}

Just add that to your prompt ^ and you're good, no need for a tool. @Veezy
