I've set up assistant-hooks to log call failures, but is there any way to receive any kind of alerts from vapi if the assistant-request fails etc? (https://docs.vapi.ai/assistants/assistant-hooks#slack-webhook-on-call-failure)

You can receive alerts from Vapi on assistant-request failures by setting up an

assistant-hook

with a webhook like, Slack that triggers on events like

"assistant.request-failed"

or

"pipeline-error"

, and using a serverless relay to forward those alerts.. https://docs.vapi.ai/assistants/assistant-hooks https://docs.vapi.ai/server-url

@Kings_big💫 But if I'm using

assistant-request

to build the

assistant

response, then I won't have been able to set the

hook

for the failing

assistant-request

at that stage.

Vapi doesn’t support organization-level hooks for assistant-request failures, you’ll use assistant-level hooks like assistant.request-failed or pipeline-error and forward them to your alerting system via a serverless relay..

Okay, so just to understand, if one is building assistants dynamically with the

assistant-request

server event/webhook, it will create a

assistant.request-failed

even on Vapi, but there's no way to actually receive that response?

Yes, Vapi does emit assistant.request-failed events when dynamically building assistants via assistant-request, but there's no way to receive those at the organization level, only assistant-level hooks can capture them..

RIght, but that would require an "assistant" to be already created in the first place in Vapi?

Yes, even with dynamic assistant-request, a valid assistant must still be returned otherwise vapi emits failure events, which can only be handled via assistant-level hooks..
