Issue with workflow design
I'm not getting an option to add a gather node in a workflow and when i'm creating a new workflow i'm unable to see a start node by default.

Thanks for sharing the details. Just to clarify, are you able to see the "Gather" node option if you refresh the page or try creating a workflow in a different browser or incognito mode? This will help determine if it's a UI issue or something else.

It looks like the Gather node and start node should be available in your workflow builder, according to the latest Vapi documentation. If you don't see these options, try refreshing your browser or logging out and back in. If the issue persists, please contact Vapi support, as this may be a UI bug or account-specific issue.
You can also check the Vapi documentation on workflows for more details. Sources: - Vapi Docs: Gather Node - Vapi Docs: Workflows - Vapi Changelog May 14, 2025

seems like we can use the conversation node for gathering info from user. in conversation node u can find extract variables to do the same thing. But i have another issue... i cant connect my vapi assistant to my workflow cuz there's no vapi provider. if u got any suggestion i'm down.

Gather and Say nodes will be deprecated soon in the latest release. We recommend creating new workflows with Conversation nodes for the time being

It's not available in the workflow, and also I've created conversation nodes but it's not working properly & also I'm not able to connect the workflow with the agent
Hey! To help track down this issue, could you share:
- The call ID
- When exactly this happened (the timestamp)
- What response you expected to get
- What response you actually got instead
This would really help us figure out what went wrong!

sure @Shubham Bajaj
this is the response i'm getting where I've to initiate the call even after setting up the workflow, and not able to see the gather node (as i wanted the assistant to ask about the specific questions from the user and make a post request for that.

@Sumit The Gather and Say nodes are replaced by Conversational Node.
Looking into the shared call_id.
@Sumit What I can see is that you're making a call with an assistant or not through the workflow. The workflows have changed now they are not attached to the assistant. In case you are trying to call from your existing assistant which was previously attached to the workflow, it won't work. So I'll suggest you to make a call directly through workflows only and then share its respective call ID with me.
