01/25/2026, 9:38 PMcredentialId in your API request tool must be a valid UUID, not a custom string.
To fix this:
1. Go to your Vapi dashboard and create a new custom credential (e.g., Bearer Token, OAuth 2.0, or HMAC).
2. Copy the generated UUID and use it in your configuration like this:
json
"server": {
"url": "https://your-server.com/webhook",
"credentialId": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
}
This should resolve the workflow save error.
