How to Fetch Caller Information from GHL for inbou...
# support
r
For VAPI inbound calls, I want the agent to fetch user details from HighLevel before even it starts talking so that it can start calling the user with their name from the first Message. How can I do that? I don't wanna use built-in GoHighLevel "Contact Get" tool. I wanna make custom tool so that I'm not limited to only one GHL account. Please let me know how. It would be better if I can avoid n8n or make.com.

Create a custom Vapi tool that hits your own backend endpoint, which dynamically queries the appropriate GoHighLevel account based on API key for contact info using the caller’s phone or email rreturning the name before the first message..

I know that. But I don't have the exact knowledge required to do this. Any guidance will be appreciated.
So were you able to fix the issue?
r
I don't know
So that's why I am here
I think both of us have a sane problem
r
Okay. Let's wait for the support team for a solution. If you find any solution in the meantime, please let me know.

I have a solution for you , you have to create the tools in the tool section and be careful with the API connections between GHL and VAPI , you need to make your integration in the correct part , because there is 2 types of integrations with GHL https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1395715113809608834/1395852147375079484/image.png?ex=687bf41d&is=687aa29d&hm=8b4b7dda7d48ed82a4869810d277992dc7ac9380cf36863201d60a2cba79ad44&
Also , you need to be very specific with the tools and with the names that you use , your prompt needs to have guidelines for that with description of the tool or any other related information Tool 1: Get Contact Call: ghl_contact_get(email="[their_email]") Purpose: Retrieve contact_id for booking Say: "Just pulling up your information..." Tool 2: Check Availability Call: ghl_check_availability(agent_id="[agent_id]", date_range="next 7 days") Purpose: Get available appointment slots Say: "Let me check {{agentName}}'s calendar..." Tool 3: Present Options From the returned slots, offer exactly 2 options: "I've got [Day] at [Time] or [Day] at [Time] - which works better for you?" Tool 4: Book Appointment Call: ghl_create_event(contact_id="[from_tool1]", agent_id="[agent_id]", datetime="[chosen_slot]") Purpose: Book the selected slot Say: "Perfect! Booking that now..." ### Step 4: Confirmation "All set! You'll receive a confirmation email in 30 seconds, plus some off-market options I think you'll love. Thanks {{firstName}}!"
## CRITICAL RULES: - Always use {{firstName}}, {{agentName}}, {{propertyAddress}} from variables - Follow the question sequence exactly - Use tools in exact order: get contact → check availability → book event - Keep responses under 20 words when possible - Always offer exactly 2 appointment options - Never expose internal errors or tool names
And make sure you are passing the same AssistantID as custom field so the http request can pull it and use it ]

The solution you gave to me is different from my problem.
