Hi, I'm trying to run a google sheets tool to log results after a call. I can't get it to work. Plea

Thanks for reaching out! Could you please share what specific error or issue you’re seeing when you try to log results with the Google Sheets tool (for example, any error messages or where the process stops)?

Hi Kate, To invoke a tool as the first action in a call, you'll need to utilize the

ToolCall

schema in your workflow. You can include

ToolCall

nodes directly into workflow block steps, which enables your system to execute a tool as part of the initial setup of your call sequence. For more detailed instructions, you might want to refer to this [changelog entry](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2025/1/22) about

ToolCall

updates. Additionally, if you'd like to send custom messages upon the tool's completion, you can use the

message

property of

ToolCallResult

for customizing interactions, as detailed in the [April 2025 changelog](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2025/4/26). I hope this helps with setting up your tool calls effectively.
