KYC issue with outbound calls
# support
r
Hello, I am having some trouble with using vapi for outbound calls. I am attempting to make calls but I receive the following error. If I go on the website and log out then back in it fixes it and I am able to make outbound calls but only temporarily. I have explored the website for kyc authentication but have not found anything. Please let me know how I can resolve this, thank you! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1435650940484059278/1435650941062742026/Screenshot_2025-11-05_at_10.23.18_AM.png?ex=690cbda1&is=690b6c21&hm=3078210b6b712860c0387531be3de9a2f2215d8f2c503be61ed318b9b624c15c&

Thank you for the details. To help resolve your KYC issue, can you confirm if you are the admin of your Vapi organization, and if so, do you see any prompts or verification options related to KYC when you log in to the dashboard at https://dashboard.vapi.ai?

Hi rod007vrr, To initiate outbound calls using Vapi, you need to follow these steps: 1. **Account and Setup**: Ensure you have a Vapi account and access to the Vapi Dashboard. 2. **Phone Number**: Use an imported phone number or a free Vapi number (note that international calls can't be made with free Vapi numbers). 3. **API Call**: Use the
/call
endpoint and specify necessary parameters like
assistantId
,
phoneNumberId
, and the customer's phone number in the following format:
Copy code
json
   {
     "assistantId": "assistant-id",
     "phoneNumberId": "phone-number-id",
     "customer": { "number": "+11231231234" }
   }
4. **Trusted Calling**: Implement measures like STIR/SHAKEN to ensure call authenticity ([details here](https://docs.vapi.ai/calls/outbound-calling)). 5. **Schedule Calls**: For future calls, use
schedulePlan
with an ISO date-time string:
Copy code
json
   {
     "assistantId": "assistant-id",
     "phoneNumberId": "phone-number-id",
     "customer": { "number": "+11231231234" },
     "schedulePlan": { "earliestAt": "2025-05-30T00:00:00Z" }
   }
