How do I make it so the caller does not have to say their phone number to receive an SMS message How do I get the data from VAPI to recognize the caller's phone number automatically for sending SMS

To automatically send an SMS to the caller without asking for their number, use the dynamic variable

{{customer.number}}

in your SMS tool configuration. For example:

json
{
  "type": "sms",
  "to": "{{customer.number}}",
  "message": "Thank you for calling!"
}

This ensures the SMS is sent to the caller's phone number automatically, with no need for user input.
