I'm trying to use workflows in my app. Is there a way to make a web call using the workflow instead of passing an assistant id to vapi.start()?

Vapi now supports starting calls using a

workflow

or

workflowId

as the entry point, giving you more flexibility in defining your call flows ([changelog](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2025/5/6)). However, the Web SDK documentation does not currently provide a direct example for passing a workflow to

vapi.start()

. Actionable next step: Try passing a configuration object with a

workflowId

to

vapi.start()

, similar to how you would with an assistant, or check the [latest SDK docs](https://docs.vapi.ai/sdk/web) for updates. If this is not yet supported in the SDK, consider reaching out to Vapi support or their Discord for the most up-to-date guidance.

how do I get the transcripts in real time? i want to display them in the UI.

For Real-Time Transcripts: - Enable 'transcript' in clientMessages - Listen for 'message' events and filter by type: 'transcript' - Handle both 'partial' and 'final' transcript types - The role field tells you if it's from 'user' or 'assistant'
